Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure film has a higher dynamic range than digital SDR video? From a quick google search, 13 stops for film vs 6 stops for SDR. Obviously the stock that was used for final delivery to theaters was much worse than the stock that movies were shot on, but still.

That aside: Any commonly used digital cinema camera today has 13+ stops of dynamic range without even considering any special HDR modes.
