So that makes $25 left!

How do you plan on making this available? Just a h264 encode authored to BluRay, or would it be possible to get a lossless encode, straight from the scan as well.

It is a ways off yet, straight from the scan will mean plenty of scratches, glitches, splices and 16bpp wide gamut, so it won't be of much use to most people.

It would also weigh in somewhere between 10-20TB in size.

Remember, a theatrical print is not a negative, it will be scratched, dirty, potentially have some missing frames, and will be considerably softer than a neg would be, and in many cases, softer than the BD release of any given movie.

Prints are often a bit crushed in the blacks and whites as well.

They are however, the way most people saw the movie at the cinema, so a more accurate representation of the way the movie was first experienced.
