I was just asked and didn't know the answer - were the standard DCPs for Captain Marvel 2K or 4K? Anyone able to confirm?

Remember to check the filename:

CaptainMarvel_FTR-1-2D_S_EN-EN-CCAP_US-13_71-HI- VI-Dbox_2K_DI_20190216_DTB_SMPTE_VF

Interestingly, the only 4K films in wide release right now are Greta and Dragged Across Concrete.

This contains mostly VFX boosted footage - who needs 4k for that?

Only if VFX was CREATED in 4k. Mastering in 4k is easy...

Even on a lot of productions that are stated as being native 4K the CGI is often rendered at 2K and then up-rezzed. They're still doing that despite the giant gains in computer rendering horsepower. All the performance improvements are just directed at rendering 2K even faster.

Yes I should of said created and mastered.

Thats a shame Bobby and doesn't surprise me. Its amazing how big the budget is for paying actors yet most corners cut in many other areas. I guess there has to be a cutoff but still.

It might have been 2K, but at the Dolby Cinema where I saw it, it looked damned good. Would it have looked better if it had been completely rendered in 4K? The truth is, I don't know. Maybe if it was even sharper, it would have started to look hyper-real like HFR does and IMO, that wouldn't have been good.

I know with UHD BD discs the ones that are done with a 4K digital intermediate look head and shoulders better then the ones from a 2K digital intermediate. They are few and far between so far. Im sure a DCP would be the same.
