Yeah theaters just got higher colors
No, theaters have worked in the DCI-P3 color space for quite a while now.
There resolution is higher just a fact , could it be due to screen size ??
4096 vs. 3840? Really, those pixels aren't an actual jump. Theaters have always used oddball resolutions and aspect ratios. They are still 2160p projectors, and their jump in horizontal resolution isn't actually meaningful to things. It's less than a 7% jump, and it is LESS than what 8K projectors and TVs can deliver. So, no, it isn't universal.
7% resolution increase is visually insignificant.
Why do consumers only get
“4k TV has 3840 horizontal pixels and 2160 vertica”
Because that's 16:9 and matches perfectly to all HD 16:9 content which has been shot. All consumer/prosumer content is shot in the 16:9 aspect ratio.
Since 4K prosumer video is shot in the 16:9 aspect ratio at 3840x2160 natively, then any added resolution is wasted on anything with higher resolution.
Maybe it’s not that big of a difference.. 265 pixels is a lot tho x2160
Half a million pixels gone ..
As stated, it is less than a 7% difference and is visually imperceptible. You can't see it. It isn't worth discussing.
With 8k you lose double to 4x that ..

You have a problem with caring about things that simply are completely meaningless in the real world. What's the difference between a WAV file and a FLAC file? The FLAC file is half the size! So, it must suck? No! The file size is irrelevant. In this case, the resolution is so close, that the difference is irrelevant.
Bigger the resolution more the consumer loses resolution.. could just be due to screen shape tho .
No, at 8K, the consumer TV is still less than a 7% difference. Same at 32K or 64K. The side pixels will still be removed as not fitting the 16:9 standard.
I think we lose more to widescreen then pixels tho , damn bars on films ruin them .. widescreen on a widescreen tv is so stupid .
The director of the film would say the same about you.
HDTV is almost universally shot in the 16:9 aspect ratio. Movies are shot in different aspect ratios. That's up to the director, and with larger TVs, most current movies are released in the original aspect ratio. Tron Legacy Blu-ray actually changes aspect ratios throughout the movie for accommodate for IMAX scenes which are taller.
Higher bit rate could help consumers if only it wasn’t only in theaters..
Higher bitrate with better codecs is almost always better for video quality, no matter what and where it is being played back.
Theaters have a lot of other things going for them.
First, they do NOT use Sony projectors because Sony recognized a flaw in their LCoS technology and can't deliver a commercially viable theater solution. That's why the link on the Sony page you have leads to a long list of projectors which are all discontinued by Sony.
Second, they pretty exclusively are using DLP projectors.
The DLP projectors are all 3-chip models. (most home DLP models are not 3-chip DLP).
The projectors have MUCH better optics than most consumers get at home.
The projectors are very highly calibrated.
The projectors are designed from the ground up with commercial playback in mind.
The projectors, to my understanding, support 12-bit color depth.
But, in reality, a reasonable home theater projector can look almost as good, or better, than much of what many theaters are able to deliver. Don't oversell what movie theaters actually produce. It's not as good as you may believe.
