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.

Oblivion, Lucy and Lone Survivor UHD confirmed for August 9th

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.
