So am I correct in assuming that those same movies if seen on a store bought disk on a Blu-ray player would also be in cinemascope format and have the bars top and bottom?

One of the movies he ran was the latest Spiderman which had the bars. When I saw it at BB, it was running full screen, and looked perfect.
