Sony Pictures has announced a week before the movie is released in theaters that the new Ghostbusters will be released at some point on Ultra HD Blu-ray + 3D Blu-ray, which is great news for fans of both formats.
No word yet on a released date of course or on a soundtrack format, but considering it’s Sony, we can easily guess this should be Atmos.
Sorry for the delay on posting this, but it is now confirmed that both X-Men Apocalypse and Independence Day: Resurgence will be available on Ultra HD Blu-ray when they are released for home theaters.
XMen Apocalypse will be released on October 4th with a Dolby Atmos soundtrack on the UHD version.
No detail yet on the soundtrack and street date for Independence Day: Resurgence.
Universal Studios announced last week that Huntsman’s Winter War will be available on both Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray with a DTS:X soundtrack. Again, it’s a remix as the movie was not presented in theaters with object based audio.
No released date yet, I’ll update you once we know more.
Sony Pictures confirmed this week that the new Angry Birds movie will be released on Ultra HD Blu-ray later this fall with Dolby Atmos. There will also be 2D and 3D Blu-ray editions, for which I don’t have information on the audio format yet.
We already knew Universal was planning a bunch of Ultra HD Blu-ray titles, and they now have announced the first ones to come out in August.
Lucy and Oblivion will feature a Dolby Atmos soundtrack as they were originally presented that way in theater. Lucy had that track available on the Hong Kong version of the Blu-ray and for having tested it it’s a very agressive Atmos soundtrack, one of the best I heard. For Oblivion, it will be the first time the movie is released with Atmos at home.
Lone Survivor on its side will feature a newly created DTS:X soundtrack.
There’s really a trend of Atmos being used for native Atmos movies in theaters and DTS:X for remixes (and the limited number of theater releases in the format).
I updated the different lists on the site to reflect that new information.
We knew they were coming due to Canadian preorders, but it’s now official, Warner confirmed that Creed, Point Break and In The Heart of the Sea will all be available on Ultra-HD Blu-ray starting on June 7th.
In The Heard of the Sea will receive the same Dolby Atmos soundtrack while the other two movies will be in DTS HD Master Audio.
Quick update to let you know that Lionsgate Home Entertainment will release The Divergeant Series : Allegiant with Dolby Atmos on both Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray on July 12th.
