Does this mean that the rights holder will only ever offer termed distribution deals (as opposed to the outright sale of rights), so the distributors are unwilling to invest?
I'm not trying to deny that it's generally true; I just don't like to see assumptions made about a particular example. There are some facilities which very much understand the value of viewing on larger screens and make sure to include it in their production workflows.
Josh, you keep repeating that anecdote, but I still haven't seen you provide any evidence that the monitor in the featurette was even one of those used to produce the Blu-ray, let alone the only one.
