Disney are about to launch ‘Infinity Vision’ which seems like a similar certification process.
It’s claimed that this is, in part, because Avengers: Doomsday got delayed and is now releasing while Dune 3 has already block booked the IMAX screens, and Disney wanted a premium screen experience that, presumably, can be charged more for.
TIL movie theater protectors aren’t higher resolution than home TVs or projectors. Many are still 2k (basically1080p). Even IMAX.
Obviously they’re better contrast ratio, brightness, etc than a consumer projector. I just really assumed they were at 6k or 8k these days, at least for nicer ones.
The quality comes mainly from callibration. Having colour accuracy, even field illumination, and perfect focus can make 2k look very impressive at screen size/distance to screen ratios of a theatre.
In my limited experience even brightness and contrast is questionable, especially with imax. And they’re rife with dead pixels. The one advantage theater has is good speakers and sound isolation

Infinity vision is, from what I can tell, a screen size and 4k projector.
