The only formats you can assume will be supported in cinemas are scope and 1.185. Some more art house cinemas might be able to do Academy standard too but it is much more rare. Theres a move at the moment to replace 1:1.185 with 16:9 like modern tvs but it remains to be seen what will happen.

It shouldn't be a big problem as it is basically Super35 in 4perf. Theres lots of telecine out there to do this (and I would assume full scans too). You just need to find places that can handle S35. They may not be keen on putting your painted film near their expensive equipment tho!
The other option might be to get it optically printed to a pillarboxed 1.185 print but this would be VERY expensive.
