Yeah, it is typically the director’s call, though Denis seemed to be surprised when he heard Dune wasn’t already available on IMAX on disk. So I think some directors don’t care that much about home media and are more focused on the theater experience, while some care a lot about the home presentation (think about the way Kubrick shot some of his films with a 1.33 TV version in mind)

In an ideal world we’d get a choice, since for me sometimes I prefer constant aspect ratio and other times I prefer the IMAX versions, but that’s very rare that we get that. And then there are some releases like Avatar: The Way of Water where I don’t even know why a 2.39 version is made (which was theaters only).
