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?

35mm film can produce 4k images. I reckon you could blow up the film to a lot higher in terms of digital resolution. Because film doesn’t have a resolution. You’ll be limited by the films grain, though. Smaller the chemical particles on the film, the higher you can blow it up without any problems.

Movies and shows captured in film is actually Hi-Res, so can be digitized to those formats. Those captured direct to digital, not as much hence not as good quality.
