Apple TV+ iTunes 4K Upgrades Thread (1 Viewer)

[Adam Lenhardt]

Well, I can confidently say that I don't have any compromising photos of Fandango executives, and the following titles have upgraded to 4K for me on Vudu in recent weeks:

• 03/04/2024: Contagion (Upgraded from HDX to 4K UHD)
• 02/20/2024: Starman (Upgraded from HDX to 4K UHD)

The last round of upgrades for me was back in November. Per Vudu, titles get upgraded "[o]nly if you have purchased one of the eligible ... titles [directly] on Vudu. Code redemptions and UV/MA imports are not eligible."

So digital copies that came with physical media are out, as are titles that transferred via MoviesAnywhere or (back in the day) Ultraviolet.

It's not your fault nor anybody else's except Vudu/Fandango Now. Time is better spent watching some westerns than trying to make sense with these 4K upgrades involving digital platform policies.

Yeah. Sorry about that. Life has gotten in the way of my movie watching lately. Hope to participate soon.

I’m doing an experiment by purchasing The Crow HDX digital on Fandango at Home. Paramount is releasing the 4K/UHD in May. Lets see what happens with that digital.

Except that of the four titles Vudu has "upgraded" to 4K for me, only one was actually purchased (Color Purple from FN).

The Prestige has finally upgraded to 4K/Dolby Vision on iTunes. It was one of those titles that's been in 4K on Vudu but remained in HD on iTunes. I wish these streaming platforms would clean up their messes.

Also, Awakenings with Robin Williams and Robert De Niro has upgraded to 4K/Dolby Vision.

 

[Neil S. Bulk]

Has "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut" been 4K for awhile? It hasn't been mentioned in this thread and it's Dolby Vision on Apple now.

CheapCharts says it was a couple weeks ago.

Did Incredible Hulk get relisted?

Yes, the new digital from Marvel/Disney has Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. The older digital from Universal that's no longer available for purchase has HDR with no Atmos. School Daze is another Sony title that added a new 4K digital while the older digital still remains in HD. Similar to Sleepless in Seattle in which the older HD digital is still available for purchase.

I own SCHOOL DAZE HD . It is now available in 4K Dolby Vision....It's a new listing and costs $14.99.

FAT CITY has been upgraded to 4K Looks great! One of my favorite films. Cinematography by the great Conrad Hall.

Though no HDR on this one. After having spent good money on the Twilight Time disc, I’ll only pick this up when it’s $5 or less.

Luckily I already owned it and it upgraded automatically.

Still No 4K Upgrade for Barbarella.

Fandango at Home has updated their UHD edition of Starman to Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Apple TV is still DV and 5.1.

Todd, there has definitely been some action taken by Sony on this front. All five of the Atmos titles from the Columbia Classics Vol 4 set have now had Atmos added at Fandango at Home, and so far, 3 of the 5 at Apple TV.

Sleepless in Seattle is the only one on Apple/iTunes that hasn’t upgraded to 4K.

Now, if Sony would get all of their 4k titles on MA corrected to include Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, that would be a true miracle.

 

[Mark-P]

Sleepless in Seattle is the only one on Apple/iTunes that hasn’t upgraded to 4K.

Yeah, they burned you on that one. It's relisted as a separate purchase in 4K/DV/Atmos.
