4K77 is based on a theatrical print, official releases are almost always based on the actual camera negative. Theatrical prints are generally a few copies removed from the negative, and were optimized for making lots of copies quickly rather than maximum quality or long-term preservation. The negative would have more detail and color than even a pristine print, and will better maintain it if taken care of.
