I know it's the movie business and studios are always trying to squeeze out another dollar. In the aughts I can imagine Universal doing a pan-and-scan if they didn't have a - whatchamacallit - master copy for some obscure movie from an obscure studio from (many) decades before.
But they did that to a movie they released themselves 20 years before. Not only that. Adjusted for inflation it had a ~$31 million budget. That's next level lazy and greedy.
