I guess you read early on in this thread about Smilebox®? Oops, those pictures are no longer there – THANK YOU, Imageshack! : P
It is just a wrong simulation of the real thing, because . .

The screen curvature should not cause distortion, stretching or cropping, especially since this is a single projector/single film Cinerama release.

I had suggested using a 3D rendering program (also back there) to map out a theater screen as viewed from the best seat in the house, for a more accurate Cinerama experience (I never did it … didn’t have the time … but linked to a really good program, now freeware, that could do the job).

Any way could you find and post the SK Archives pictures, too, which you used to adjust those 3 Blu-ray snapshots, for comparison? I only ask because the opening-titles-comparison text isn’t white, as I think it would be. The rest look good, needing only touch-ups to make the greys non-tinted.
