Is this DCP really F-185 or 1.78 pillarboxed inside the Flat-Container?

IMDB technical cites 1.85 as the original.

My notes from my 2022 screening also say 1.85, and played at 6.2 in our house.

Reason why I am asking is that the official DCP that was provided by the german distributor is in F-178, including the Lionsgate Logo.
Which irritated me quite a bit... If the US DCP is 1.85 it almost looks like they used a 1.78 homevideo master for the german DCP.

I haven't tested the file but I'm pretty sure it's 1.85. That's the movie's aspect ratio. Usually when it's one of the smaller flats it's in the file code and it isn't here.

I should probably start recording the CPL hashes in my spreadsheets, then i'd know if my old info was for sure the same. ;-)

Update: We ran it Sunday and I can confirm it is indeed standard 1.85 flat.
