I think the quality of a resized digital print also largely depends on the resampler used. I experimented with different resizing filters, took a large picture, cropped it through the centre (to make it the equivalent of a 5mpx) and then had my dad print it on the A3 laser printer at work. I've never actually blown a 35mm picture to this size before so I can not compare there, but the Lanczos filter was by far the best (for this perticular photograph, there are exceptions). I do not know why photoshop does not have this filter. It is not like this algorithm is proprietary.
It was of course a little bit blurry but if you blow something up to mural size you won't stare at it from a few cm away anyway.
