Never Say Never Again also popped up as 4k on iTunes.

Never Say Never (Again) has been upgraded to 4K.

 

[JohnRice]

I'm not there yet because of digital limitations audio-wise. Too many 4K digitals either don't have Dolby Atmos or the best audio codec found on discs of the same movie title.

In fact, Atmos seems to be almost disappearing from recent 4K streaming releases. For example, even Mad Max: Fury Road lacks Atmos, despite it being on even the regular BluRay. It just seems that 90% of 4K catalog releases have no Atmos.

I don’t think that’s true at all.
Here are some recent films on iTunes with Atmos

The Invisible Man
1917
Midway
Charlie’s Angels
Bad Boys For Life
Birds Of Prey
Mortal Engines
Bloodshot
Little Women
Jumanji
Knives Out
Doctor Sleep
Zombieland 2
Downton Abbey
Joker
All the John Wick films
The Meg
Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom
King Of Staten Island
Ford vs Ferrari
Etc......

That's weird. A couple weeks ago I sat down to watch Fury Road and there was no Atmos indicated anywhere. I thought I was losing my mind, because I was certain it was there before.

Anyway, regarding the rest of it, I'm quite aware of someone's desire to contradict anything I say due to some recent events, and I prefer not to engage in that, so I'll leave that statement intact and move on.

You can think what you want but I was just pointing out that there are plenty of recent films that have Atmos without any “desire to contradict” you. What a bizarre accusation.

Psycho updated to the new blu-ray art. Crossing fingers...

 

[Bob Cashill]

Never Say Never has been upgraded to 4K.

...AGAIN.

My Eastwood Leone set was hd and tgtbtu updated to 4k.

 

[John Gilmore]

For anyone who has seen the new 4K of Vertigo, does it correct the overly bright ending scene in the tower?

EDIT: FWIW, Vudu is showing Psycho available in UHD

Home Alone is now 4K/Dolby Vision

 

[Worth]

I thought iTunes updated all their streaming files to new masters when they got them, but I recently picked up Fatal Attraction, which is now available in 4K, but the 1080p version looks like mud and has and specks of dust all over it. Clearly not the new master.

The Dolby Vision I believe is new. It’s been 4K for a while.

Psycho (1960)
Mr Deeds Goes To Town

Remind me on what the iTunes rule is for bundles movies?
I’m looking at a Superman bundle for $20.
None of the movies in it are 4K but I can foresee that Supes 2 might someday and maybe Returns too.

So should I be correct in thinking they will get upgraded even if bought in a bundle?

Superman: The Movie is already 4K/DV/Atmos in that bundle.

 

[TonyD]

Yes it is. I have it but this $20 bundle is the special edition with the extra 10 minutes or so not the one thst is now 4K
