Quick update to let you know that Warner confirmed that Justice League will be released on March 13 and that both it’s Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray release will offer a Dolby Atmos sountrack.
The 4K disc will also feature Dolby Vision, also a rare thing for Warner.
Just a quick update of the site release lists, the most important news being that Thor: Ragnarok now has a release date of March 6 and Coco will be available on February 27, both on Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray, the later with Dolby Atmos.
On a bit of side news, I’ve been experimenting in the last weeks with the new KEF Q Series 2017 and with the Buttkicker Mini LFE, so I may post a couple of impressions post in the near future on those !
I will back with a longer post on the big CES 2018 announcements, but I wanted to highlight this one as it’s a big news for the industry.
Denon & Marantz just announced two new products that are the first one to achieve 13 channels of Atmos decoding. This means either a 9.2.4 (with front wides) or a 7.2.6 (with six overheads) configuration. Such configurations were not available before outside of semi-professional equipment like the Trinov.
Denon announced the first 13 channels receiver with the X8500H, which will even have 13 amplifiers on board, so no need for external amplification.
On their side, Marantz announced their new pre-processor, the AV8805, which becomes their new top of the line product.
Again, more to come on CES, but this one is pretty great. Now let’s start thinking, 7.2.6 or 9.2.4?
Treat this still as a rumour, but at the same time it’s not really surprising. Initial informations to retailers seem to confirm that The Last Jedi will be released this Spring on Ultra HD Blu-ray with a Dolby Atmos soundtrack.
No word yet on an official date or if there’s any change on also getting The Force Awakens and Rogue One on the format, but it’s a huge news for the industry.
Please note I also updated the lists with some Atmos and Dolby Vision information including:
A quick update to wish you the best for the on going Holidays and to let you know that I updated the lists on the site with the couple of releases announced recently, even if it’s been a pretty slow news period.
The big one is The Dark Crystal anniversary edition coming to Ultra HD Blu-ray on March 6th with a new Dolby Atmos soundtrack.
The horror movie Jigsaw has also been confirmed with Dolby Atmos on both its Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray next month when it is released on January 23.
We knew it was coming, but now it’s official. The science-fiction movie Blade Runner 2049 from director Denis Villeneuve is now confirmed for Blu-ray and UltraHD Blu-ray on January 16.
Both editions will offer Dolby Atmos, hopefully with a mix as strong as the one in theater.
Just a quick post to let you know I updated the lists on the site with a bunch of upcoming titles for 4K.
Among other things, we now know that Lego Ninjago will have Atmos on both the Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray for its release on December 12.
Moonlight was also confirmed with Atmos, and we already knew it was coming December 12.
Also, quick note that the comedy Daddy’s Home 2 is now up for preorder on Ultra HD Blu-ray, but no official date yet.
