Theatrical prints have always been more contrasty than video transfers. Theatrical-print contrast has never read well on TVs, which is why most transfers have come from low-contrast interpositives (except for more recent restorations scanned from original negatives and such). Even when they do boost the contrast, clip the whites and crush the blacks, it looks nothing like a theatrical print. We always see too much mid-range fill light. That shot of Alfred Molina looks so much better in your prediction than in the "before" image.
