Almost every release of every film ever made (on film) is cropped somewhat. It's not that the Blu-Ray is cropped while the D-Theater version isn't. It's that the framing is done slightly differently.

I know that, but there seems to be a fair bit of cropping here to me, and I was also commenting on the trend towards tighter cropping of BD releases in general, and wondering why. For example, the remastered Gangs of New York BD is pretty heavily cropped.

I agree with you in not disliking the new color timing though.
