You don’t even need IMAX for 4K; ordinary 35mm film can normal scan to a nice 4K video. Films shot on the 65mm IMAX cameras would probably make good 8K content, but most of that was educational films, not what most people apparently want to watch all the time.

The digital IMAX projections were actually a step backwards in resolution.

Sure. But the cameras exist. You can use them for other stuff.

Hateful Eight was filmed in 70mm, and while it wasn't Tarantino's best work it certainly looked nice.

65mm is a gulf from 15/65 though. Much harder to shoot in IMAX format.
