VistaVision is being used more often as a cheaper way to get to IMAX or 70mm projections sizes. The gear and filmstock is less expensive for production and you can laser out to the other formats at roughly the same resolution you capture at.
There are far less working VistaVision cameras than 70mm. It wasnt used at all, or just for shooting vfx, for 50 years until recently
This is true but it is far cheaper to scan and develop. Labs have to reset the machines to switch over to 65mm/70mm but are running 35mm every day.
