Just a quick post to confirm that Sherlock : The Abominable Bride has been releasedby the BBC in North America on Blu-ray with a Dolby Atmos soundtrack. I waited on this one as it was hard to get an official confirmation, but I have the disc in my hands and can confirm now.
According to its back cover, the Blu-ray release of the 5th season of Game of Thrones will feature a Dolby Atmos soundtrack when it is released on March 15th.
As already reported here, the first four seasons are getting new releases with Dolby Atmos, the first two have been released while seasons 3 and 4 are still pending an official street date.
The animal documentary Enchanted Kingdom, which was already available in Dolby Atmos from Japan has now been released in North America with the immersive track.
It’s really a good example of what the format can bring to documentary movies.
Update : It seems that Sicario will finally be offered with a Dolby Atmos Soundtrack, at least that’s what the press release says.
You can now add Sicario, from Canadian director Dennis Villeneuve, to the list. The movie will be released on January 5th and will feature a Dolby Atmos track on Blu-ray.
One of The Kino Classics collection release of this month on Blu-ray, called The Mask, will feature as an added bonus the 3D animated short One Night In Hell which offers a Dolby Atmos soundtrack with music under the supervision of Queen’s Brian May.
I really like the idea of this inclusion on the disc and the fact that it is presented as an highlight of the release. This continues to show strong support for the format even from smaller studios as Dolby Atmos continue to take more place in the home theater industry.
It’s hard to deny the fact that Dolby Atmos releases on Blu-ray are really ramping up in the last two months. After a busy October that features as much releases as the first four months of the format, we will have another busy month in November.
Warner just confirmed that the movie The Man From U.N.C.L.E. will feature a Dolby Atmos soundtrack when it’s released on Blu-ray on November 17th. One more to add to our potential list of movies with immersive audio !
Once it rains it pours right ? Another Atmos Blu-ray confirmed, now it’s Roger Waters The Wall, coming our way on December 1st from Universal Pictures. Keep them coming please !
Another release we knew was coming based on previous information from Europe, it’s now official : Minions will be offered with Dolby Atmos. The movie will be released December 8th on Blu-ray in both 3D and 2D editions featuring an Atmos sountrack.
