How are they able to release older movies in 4k?

Were they shot in 4k or something we just didn’t have TV’s that could see 4k back in the day?

If they were shot on film, the original resolution for 35mm is about 3k and 70mm is about 18k. So getting 4k scans from this is not that big a deal. Original analog television had really crappy resolution so film movies shown on it looked bad.
