While I obviously endorse this 70mm revival of late, I'm not sure what the merits could be for this movie.
It was filmed entirely on digital cameras and judging by the available trailer material, has to be a crapload of CGI in just about every shot. Yes, it was acquired in 6K, but after framing, cropping and post-processing, you can expect the end-result be close to 4K. So, why not just focus on a 4K release? That way, you can at least enjoy the benefits of multi-dimensional sound.
Those high-profile 70mm "roadshow" releases are expensive, so why not reserve them for features where it actually adds something worthwhile to the experience?

quote: Tyler Purcell Random question, but film based DTS never changed right? Its the same system currently used on 70mm prints eh?
The technology never changed. DTS sold their Cinema division to Datasat, and Datasat has since licensed the technology to produce the timecode tracks and encoded CD-ROMs to a third party, but it's all the same system that's been in place since 1993.
Regarding syncing to one of the immersive systems - as has been suggested in the earlier posts, this is technically very feasible, but as a commercial endeavor somewhat iffy. It's not clear why Dolby, ATI (Datasat's new owners), Barco or Auro would invest in the R&D necessary to make this work for ~100 screens and 2-3 movies per year.
I mean if I were independently wealthy *I'd* do it, just because it would be cool, but it's going to be a tough sell to the companies that could.
