Was it stripped out at the Council of Nicaea? :-)

I saw a snippet on Philips offering a 21:9 screen for the movie buffs.
What to do with 16:9 content?
In a similar note, I watched parts of "Batman: The Dark Knight" in our
new auditorium on a 16:9 Stewart screen, using a Christie7K projector
and JBL THX processor and speakers. The source disk was a commercial
Blu-Ray. The overall experience was close to that of a modern film
theater and looked as good as, if not better, than a standard
projected film.
What surprised me was that the film actually had letterboxing on some
scenes. Other scenes, mainly action, filled the whole 16:9 area but
dialog and other scenes were letterboxed (black on top and bottom)
with perhaps a 21:9 or so ratio.
So how would a 21:9 deal with a Blu-Ray that is authored in this way?
