Sorry to add a bit of "chat" but I think a clarification is in order. Brad, feel free to delete my entry if you wish.

I suspect Michael Brown's initial entry was for the original 1969 film, not the 2003 remake. This is an example of adding a year next to the title being beneficial.

Sounds like Super 35, which is often trade and test screened flat in advance of the anamorphic conversion being performed.

I had no idea there was an older movie. Definitely thank you for posting the clarification.
