I just got an email asking for the aspect ratio (flat or scope) and masking type for "each specific screen in your complex".

This is apparently being done for "one of the major studios" so they can decide how to release some unspecified thing in the future.

I got the same. On the screen ratio, I assume I should go by the largest open size.

My guess, I think it might be for Once Upon a Time in America

It't not just the kind of masking you have, it's also about whether it's even used.

I received an email about this saying it might be best to submit aggregate information through NATO or something rather than provide specific info about your venue. Speculation is this could result in bookings requiring specific screens in your venue.
