This confirms exactly what I was talking about.

From what I can see from the screenshot comparison, that is pretty much what I saw when it was re-released at the cinema. I guess, they were using the digital re-release to test the waters for the new 4K remaster.

I am so happy this has happened, as it looked exactly spot on when I saw it at the cinema. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the contrast was fixed on the big screen. Hopefully others will feel the same with the new 4K blu-ray :-)
