Will the several DVD be anamorphic?
According to Amazon, the several release on 06/10 "Once upon a time in america (2 disc SE)" and "Robin hood (2 disc SE)" are shown as Widescreen letterbox formats. Is it true?
( As I know, letterbox = non anamorphic. )

So are you asking if they are anamorphic, or if they are widescreen? I know they are widescreen, and I believe they are both anamorphic, though don't quote me on it.

(However, a DVD can be letterbox and NOT anamorphic.)

while noone can be absolutly sure untill its posted as a press release or the DVDs actually street, the other WB 2-disc sets have all be anamorphic widescreen so i would assume they will follow the same logic with ALL their rerelease 2-disc sets.
at least we can hope so, the studios are increasing difficult to predict or figure out these days

Are you talking about these specs for the Robin Hood: PoT - SE?
I would assume that it's a sort-of typo, besides, the release isn't until 6/10, so maybe they just have the wrong spec.
I can't believe that WB would release this non-anamorphic.

The word "letterbox" does not mean the same thing as non-anamorphic. That is an erroneous assumption that has developed due to internet misuse of the terms.
Letterbox means that the movie will be displayed with black bars above and below the frame when shown on a 4:3 television. A movie can be both letterboxed and anamorphically enhanced. In fact, all anamorphic discs are letterboxed.
