(1) The overture, the faux retro Weinstein Company and Cinerama logos have been removed from the general release. Specifically, there are two main changes. Some conversations have trimmed down, and there is no overture and intermission in the shorter version. The Roadshow version of the film runs 20 minutes longer than the wide release theatrical cut. Viewing The Hateful Eight in an anamorphic 70 mm theatre will offer a far wider and higher picture quality than in any normal theatre. However some rare films such as Ben-Hur (1959) (1959) and It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963) (1963) have placed anamorphic lenses on 70 mm cameras in order to produce an ultra-widescreen image. Normally, 70 mm films don't use anamorphic lenses because the larger piece of film is already wide. Anamorphic is a type of camera lens that widens the filmed image which are typically used on 35 mm film cameras to produce widescreen pictures. Because 70 mm is a bigger piece of film, the movie has a much better picture quality than normal 35 mm or digital (higher resolution, more colour density, better contrast, wider dynamic range, and so on), and therefore can also be projected on much bigger, wider movie screens. 70 mm film is five perforations high and 70 mm wide. This is the standard movie format, and is what most contemporary digital cameras and projectors attempt to match in terms of picture quality. A piece of 35 mm film is four perforations (the holes on the side of the film that the gears in a projector use to advance it) high and 35 mm wide. Most movies throughout history have been shot and projected on 35 mm film. So to answer in short, General Smithers likely did not know who Minnie was much less know she was black, he just saw the Haberdashery and wanted to stop for a little bit to get warm, and get supplies. Charly makes mention to Judy and Ed that they have one person waiting for a stage heading to Red Rock, and that Minnie wants the person out of the Haberdashery, while its not stated clearly if she's talking about Smithers, but after seeing his attitude toward Marquis Warren and even John Ruth its strongly implied that they are talking about Smithers, he probably used derogatory terms for blacks toward Minnie Charly and Gemma, and when the four men enter, he seems to be ignoring them completely and focusing his attention on Sweet Dave and their chess game. Since Smithers was going to Red Rock to advise the stone maker on how to make the headstone for his son Chester Smithers, he most likely got caught on the wrong side of the storm which later turned into a blizzard, he most likely stopped to get coffee and supplies, and had no knowledge of Minnie and her crew. It is most likely implied that he did not know of Minnie's Haberdashery, as he has not spent much time in Wyoming, and much likely did not know Minnie, Charly and Gemma were of African decent. General Sandford Smithers a Confederate General and known Racist, and murderer of innocent Black Union troops, chooses to stop at Minnie's Haberdashery for the day, yet some might wonder why he chose to stop Minnie's since Minnie is black, and Charly who works for Minnie is also black, and Smithers is known to be cruel and unruly toward black people.
