But what if for 1.43:1 venues they end up showing it open matte i.e 'specially formatting' to fill the screen the way they've done with 2.40:1 releases for 1.9:1 screens?

Today, with 4K-6K scans available for 35mm film, holding up on IMAX isn't a big deal as there is no generation loss in digital, neither is it being optically blown up, if I understand it correctly. The high res scan is graded and then digitally printed on film.
If presented in full 1.44:1, it will be awesome. When the first trailer dropped, the shallow depth of field and the colour grading made me feel as if this was shot on 15/70 film. The image is incredibly detailed and does not look like 35mm in many shots.
If they do decide to go 1.44:1, I hope they also release that version on home video. However, seeing as they didn't do so for BVS, it's highly unlikely for JL to break that practice.
