I saw it (without knowing it would be until I looked up as I entered the auditorium) in a theater with a Sony 4K projector. Based on the screen in a package at the front I assume they were getting ready to make it a 3D screen and ran Iron Man before Shrek opened.

Anyway, the presentation looked as good as the 35mm print that I peaked in at. If it was a 4K release then it didn't look that much better (if at all) then the 2K DLP I have seen. One thing I will say is that from the 4th row I was unable to see any "screen door" pattern or evidence of pixels although I could pretty easily see the screen perfs. It was nice and bright with good uniformity (the screen was probably 35 feet or so wide).
