Why many movies won't be available in 4K
Despite shooting in 4K, one of the post-production houses thought it was worth retaining the 4K master files, only retaining 2K masters.

“As much as we’ve been producing in the 4K format, we didn’t store it because nobody thought we were ever going to use it! We would shoot in legitimate 4096 x 2160, produce in 4K but then archive in 2K. We lost everything, because no one anticipated that it was actually going to come.”
