I have no interest in buying films that were shot and mastered in 2k and have been upscaled to 4k for the sakes of financial profit (not even higher bit rates would make the difference for these ones-1080p/8bit is just fine IMO). On that note, if the film was actually captured and mastered in native 4k (not upscaled like Skyfall, Thor:TDW or Mockingjay 1/2) then I'll consider, but the truth is that the list of choices is still very short. Catalogue titles (35mm,70mm etc) would probably be the ones with the most availability straight away.

Tron would be nice to watch in 4k.
Granted, the digital list (https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=220755 ) is more modest than the over 400 title celluloid list (https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=218262 but even removing increased spatial resolution from the *UHD equation*, something to keep in mind is that Ultra HD Blu-ray will include greater bit depth and wider color primaries than your traditional 8bit Rec. 709 Blu-rays. And the studio stables are chock full of that content.
