Summary

A dimensionally accurate comparison of vertical 35 mm film formats: Academy ratio, Widescreen, CinemaScope, Super 35 and Techniscope. The dimensions for these formats are:

Format Film print area Cinema projection aperture Television (4:3) projection aperture
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_ratio" class="extiw" title="w:Academy ratio">Academy ratio 1.375:1</a> 0.866 in × 0.630 in (22.0 mm × 16.0 mm) 0.825 in × 0.602 in (21.0 mm × 15.3 mm)

0.825 in × 0.61875 in (20.955 mm × 15.716 mm)

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widescreen" class="extiw" title="w:Widescreen">Widescreen 1.85:1</a> 0.864 in × 0.732 in (21.9 mm × 18.6 mm) 0.825 in × 0.446 in (21.0 mm × 11.3 mm) 0.816 in × 0.612 in (20.7 mm × 15.5 mm)
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CinemaScope" class="extiw" title="w:CinemaScope">CinemaScope 2.39:1</a> 0.864 in × 0.732 in (21.9 mm × 18.6 mm) 0.825 in × 0.690 in (21.0 mm × 17.5 mm) 0.460 in × 0.690 in (11.7 mm × 17.5 mm)
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_35" class="extiw" title="w:Super 35">Full gate/Super 35</a> 0.945 in × 0.735 in (24.0 mm × 18.7 mm) For 2.39:1 → 0.945 in × 0.345 in (24.0 mm × 8.8 mm),
For 1.85:1 → 0.925 in × 0.500 in (23.5 mm × 12.7 mm)
0.925 in × 0.695 in (23.5 mm × 17.7 mm)
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techniscope" class="extiw" title="w:Techniscope">Techniscope/2-perf</a> 0.868 in × 0.373 in (22.0 mm × 9.5 mm) 0.839 in × 0.373 in (21.3 mm × 9.5 mm)  ?

Formats that include a sound track (all except for Super 35/Full gate) use a sound track 0.1 in (2.5 mm) wide located 0.054 in (1.4 mm) inside of the film perforations. The area of each circle is proportional to the film area used for projection in each format.
