Ah, the St. George, Utah Walmart! The bellwether of the entire world! My local Walmart has not changed anything, but they likely haven't received the memo from the St. George store.
But, like a broken clock, he’s right once in a while, though it didn’t take a genius to figure this one out. I just wouldn’t trust his opinion on what a UHD looks like. Ever.

I don’t claim to know any specifics from “insiders” but the lack of replication capacity in North America is starting to bite now we’re into Q4, always the busiest time of year. Paramount have been pressing discs overseas and shipping them to the US but again, with the usual squeeze on shipping and worldwide freight at this time of year plus the other “issues” the world is still grappling with, it means some stuff is gonna be delayed.

No problem in the supply chain my end. A Clockwork Orange 4K arrived yesterday.
There are still more replication plants in Europe than in North America IIRC so yeah, we’re largely unaffected by those logistics so far e.g. UK Scream UHD is on the way.
