It's academic; movies just aren't made in that resolution. Most aren't even in 4K, they're upscaled.

I have a true 4K projector with a 120 inch screen. A good 1080P image looks excellent, and the best examples of a 4K image are better still - but a good 1080P image beats a mediocre 4K one hands down.

Most 4K content is pretty mediocre, and if the resolution already isn't the limiting factor, a change to 8K can't offer any real improvement because the information simply isn't there to begin with.

Photo editing can certainly use more than 4K. Maybe 5K or 6K would be a more reasonable next step, but what's the cost difference between 6K and 8K nowadays?

Yeah agreed, but that's different, that's a monitor rather than a TV.

Gaming content at native 8k is one exception.
But you obviously need the GPU horsepower to do that, and it will take quite a while before that is common place. 
but I just mean there is no lack of 8K gaming content since any game can be run at 8k if you had the hardware.

AndyBeez:
Thought for the day: Why do I need 4K/8K when playing retro games like Pong or Tetris?

rsjsouza:
Another example of technology that fails to do something right: future generations will never know that a TV can show an image in less than 5 seconds.

This was a huge push since the old vaccuum tube days and which was fully solved by solid state, only to be hampered now by the lag to boot the embedded OS (or bring it up from its sleep state) and fill a frame buffer.
