Yes that's how they do Super-35 productions in "Scope/Panavision" ratios.
But I said: "Yeah it's a 35mm anamorphic
projection (usually called "Scope", "Panavision") (2.35-2.40) ratio film and disc."
The projection is done through 2x anamorphic lens.
(numbers rounded in mm)
35mm movie shot with anamorphic lens for "Scope/Panavision" type projection:
negative:
Camera Aperture: 18mm x 22mm
Projector Aperture: 17.5mm x 21mm
direct copy of that onto 35mm print:
Camera Aperture: 18mm x 22mm
Projector Aperture: 17.5mm x 21mm
shown through a 2x Anamorphic lens = 2.39
35mm movie shot with flat lens for "Scope/Panavision" type projection:
negative:
Camera Aperture: 18mm x 25mm
Projector Aperture: 10mm x 24mm
vertically expanded and horizontally compressed copy of that onto 35mm print:
Camera Aperture: 18mm x 22mm
Projector Aperture: 17.5mm x 21mm
shown through a 2x Anamorphic lens = 2.39
Summary:
Anamorphic shot image: 17.5mm x 21mm -> 17.5mm x 21mm Anamorphic Projection
Super-35 shot image : 10mm x 24mm -> 17.5mm x 21mm Anamorphic Projection

About trailers being 1.85, well many "Scope movie" trailers are "done" cropped into Standard Widescreen versions (11mm x 21mm) to play along with the other Standard Widescreen movie trailers before the movie. If you got a Scope trailer, you would have to change the projector lens (flat to anamorphic) for that trailer only and change it back for the next trailer or the 1.85 movie, so Scope trailers are usually played just before a Scope movie. If you're watching Ice Age (1.85) that day and they played a Casino Royale trailer they would use a 1.85 trailer. Now if they were playing Happy Feet (2.39), they might attach a CR 2.39 trailer before it, after the 1.85 trailers, and switch the lens once as the CR trailer starts.
There's 2 more less common variations. You could have the 2.39 image letterboxed into 9mm x 21mm of the 11mm x 21mm 1.85 area of a 1.85 format trailer (I think I saw last a Firewall trailer like that). Or you could pillabox a 1.85 trailer into 17.5mm x 16mm inside the 17.5mm x 21mm of a Scope format trailer.
