It was same for Top Gun. Is this a decision made by Tom Cruise? "My movies shall not have a UHD AND a BluRay... two discs and a digital copy is just too much for $30+"

Part 2 will come out in a year ("internet" is saying 6/28/2024) - so I'll probably wait and see if the two parts get released as a set in latter half of 2024.

It's the studios decision.Paramount has been doing this for a bit.Transformers:Rise Of The Beast and Scream VI are the same deal. Standard 4K + Digital and standard Blu Ray + Digital. If you want both 4K + Blu Ray or Blu Ray + DVD, you have to get a steelbook release or a store exclusive.Or buy each standard release.

WB is now starting the same thing with The Flash movie. Standard 4K + Digital and standard Blu Ray + Digital. The Best Buy steelbook has both the 4K disk & Blu Ray disk as does the Walmart exclusive. The Target exclusive has a Blu Ray disk and a DVVD disk.

WB is even worse because it looks like they're starting the trend of leaqving special features off the lower tier format.The Flash Blu Ray is missing five featurettes and the deleted scenes.The 4K disk has all the special features.In my case,even though I'm getting the steelbook which has both formats,I don't have 4K so I won't be able to watch the missing special features.

50strat54 over in The Flash movie 4K thread gave a good read on this,I think.

What is happening here is the Studios no longer need to encourage you to move to the new format and will not be giving away ANYTHING.

1. Digital codes expire according to the date...buy it before expiration and pay more for the package instead of waiting two years for a discount and not code.

2. The studios know either you are in on 4K or not so no need to give you a free bluray

3. The studios know at this point you are either in or not on Bluray so no free DVD

4. It's possible no more codes in Bluray packages, they were rarely in DVD packages

Studios don't have to baby step you to the next format. You're either in or you're out

Streaming is the PRIORITY as there are NO manufacturing or inventory storage costs

I don't think Studios will put the next improvement 8K on physical, just digital.

We'll always have physical but it's presence in the retail world will diminish.

Welcome to the new real.

Buy up on BF to get your codes if that is important to you.

Studios love it that if you MUST have both bluray and 4K you'll have to buy both as I did on Sonic 2 and Snake Eyes. Fortunately the blurays both went for $7.99 sold off the bluray code on BF and paid $10 for the 4K
