Looking to see how others have run this. It's from video and looks to be 1.33-within-1.66. Simple enough to run with 1.66 lenses and plates but masking set to Academy. Logos fit into this space. AH, but there is a shot right at the start that is full width. Having gotten the print shortly before screening and no time to verify if this was the only shot I ran it with masking open. To do over again I think I would just bring the masking in after that one shot...or maybe even let it get cropped. But leaving it open the whole show just for one shot is, to me, Film Done Wrong. (Not sure why anyone is asking for 1.33-within-1.66 instead of within 1.85; theatres equipped for 1.66 likely can handle true 1.37/Academy anyway) For added fun, the precise vertical framing of the transfer varies from reel to reel.

So have fun kids... and report back here.
