I'm with Robert_J on this. I have a DIY blackout cloth screen that is 105" wide. I chose 2.35:1 for my screen aspect ratio, so only 'scope movies use the full width. My Benq PE7700 projector has a 250W bulb and in eco mode it is plenty bright even at that size. I once used a smaller high-gain screen but found I didn't like it because the black levels weren't as deep as they are with a non-reflective screen.
