A projector that can cover a full sized movie screen is a lot different than a projector that we typically use to present power point slides at our weekly staff meeting, and the fact that it's 4096x2160 has little to do with that. Much more light, much bigger power supply, much more cooling, much bigger lenses, etc., all equal much more money.
Can you retrofit an existing film projector? Not really, unless you can come up with some way of creating a digital film frame that can sit in the film gate of an existing projector that has the necessary resolution, can be color calibrated, and can withstand the heat of the projector lamp focused on that square inch or so that covers the film gate. If you can invent that, I'll invest in your company. Otherwise, yeah, you pretty much have to scrap the entire film projector.
