Photo someone took of JP being played in 1993:

My framing (based on setting 1.85:1 crop and putting top and bottom edges to align with just about the top and bottom of the Universal logo intro starfield and then centering the image left and right within the cropping area so that same space chopped off the left and right sides and with left side area measurement including the whole purple bleed over mess onto the left side of the image as happens with seemingly all prints) basically ends up exactly the same, just a touch more image on L,R,B and the tiniest hair less on the top since a theater can’t be quite so spot on to maximizing without running into issues with accidentally going over (although it seems they were flirting with their top edge going over top of some CGI frames, maybe just barely made it or maybe a hair over). Anyway it seems like that theater probably had it framed super precisely then since it matches what seemed a reasonable way to do it. At first I figured you shouldn’t count the purple area but then you get things like the DTS disc not quite centered. This way pretty much centers it so with everything all cross-checking I believe this is how it should be. And also makes that theater seem to have been doing things very spot on and getting pretty close to maximizing area too.:
