How much longer till we have 8k movies

[nick4Knight]

In terms of Hollywood forever could be an option... There is no reason to go to 8K but there is benefit to MASTERING in 8K and then authoring to disc at 4K. Supersampled images are usually always better than native ones.

"8K movies" might be a thing in future on streaming. But again that will be a compromised compressed image so really what is the point when you could just deliver a less compressed 4K stream from an 8K master?

Unless you are talking about a commercial theatre screen sizes could never take advantage of the 8K resolution. I just think this is a non-starter for the industry. 8K content is only gonna be in the TV/streaming space to sell TV's. Not to sell quality film and digital shot movie content. Which is what 4K UHD is doing right now. It's aiming for a benchmark. And hitting it most times!
