Depends on the budget?   There is also a case to be made that the  
colourspace has to be compensated for, since an IN has probably been  
timed to print out for projection.  In which case, watch the print  
once, and then grade it like you saw it, and if the people who made  
the original decisions are around, ask questions about what they were  
happy with and what they would have liked to push a little further.   
And then make it look nice, anyway...   ;o)
