Future of 4K Blu-rays from Disney - Blu-ray Forum

nugget2016 · 04-18-2016, 11:05 PM

so captain america civil war, jungle book, rogue one: a star wars story and star wars TFA all have 4k DI's supposedly, i think by the end of the year after rogue one is released they will announce 4k discs, it would be a good move for them, they can pop out 2 films which will most likely have made $1b, and star wars which will also be a huge seller on the format..

here's me hoping at least!

I think Disney is just waiting for Dolby Vision to get on board with UHD Blu-ray. With the recent announcements, then it might not be as far off as we think. Hopefully by the end of the year or the beginning of next year.

Yeah, no.

Despicable Me 1&2 are available now. Both are the first disks to support Dolby Vision. So don't see what would be preventing Disney from doing the same. Not so patiently waiting for Star Wars and Marvel flix.

Odds are very good Disney will be utilizing Dolby Vision along with Dolby Atmos.

Blu Bull · 06-15-2017, 07:25 PM

I think if there going to utilize Dolby, we'll be waiting until support is standard on all devices, and that is going to be awhile.

My gut instinct is 4th quarter is a good launch period.

Bill hunt said last month that 4th qt is still a possibility for disney/uhd blu ray.

MattPerdue · 04-19-2016, 01:28 AM

TFA's 2K but it did have a Dolby Vision release. Same for Jungle Book.

damnit imdb had me excited..

mttmax · 04-19-2016, 04:30 AM

All movies you mentioned are/will be in 2K DCP (Blame 3D). Not sure if they really had a "4K" DI, but VFX are assumed to be only 2K.

2K VFX for The Jungle Book

switchytyp · 04-19-2016, 04:55 AM

I'm hoping they offer upgrades for current digital copies

Brightstar · 04-19-2016, 09:21 AM

Why do a new 4K restoration just in time for the 40th anniversary unless you intend to release it on UHD Blu-Ray in 2017 along with TFA and Rouge One.

I love how they never say if it's the original, un-f--ked with version or the "special" edition version tinkered with a bazillion times.

Right? You'd think that the persons who did that original interview would've pressed him on that point.
