I mean I saw hateful 8 in 70mm in theaters. Nolan and Tarantino and JewJewAbrams always shoot in film, sometimes present in film.
Yeah home media is digital because it's too damn convenient otherwise, but analog film exists in theaters at least a bit. Not too bright of a future though

No.
It's still necessary for firmware deployments to devices which have long become obsolete and no longer have their firmware readily available online.
Oh that and people who can't use the internet but develop code for enterprises but can't be half arsed to learn how to use an internal versioning system program database.

I'm not talking about the Hateful 8, I'm talking about literally any widescreen movie.

Most people buy blu rays for the special features, correct aspect ratio, multiple commentaries, better image quality. Not many rent regular dvds anymore
