Camera negative -> interpositive -> internegative -> release print
So when a release boasts that it has been taken directly from the OCN, as long as it has been cleaned up as well, you are probably seing it the best it has ever been seen up till that point.
Of course, there are the nuances of the transfer e.g. 2K or 4K, have they used too much digital scrub, getting the colour timing right etc, some of which Justin alludes to above.
