A Lot of New Titles with Dolby Atmos and some Ultra HD Blu-ray news

It’s been a pretty busy week on the Dolby Atmos front and to some extent also on the Ultra HD Blu-ray side.

Amazing how the year of delay that happened with DTS:X changed the landscape completely.

Here are the new titles announced this week.

Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk

Already confirmed on UHD Blu-ray, the title from Sony now has a release date of February 14 and will feature a Dolby Atmos track.
