iTunes Upgrade Calendar (Estimated)

[XanderAE]

This thread details all forthcoming potential 4K upgrades, based on announced physical disc releases.

While the below is focused on the US store (unless otherwise stated), you can use the iTunes ID to determine if your market will likely see an upgrade too. If they match, it stands a good chance! It is also true that your market may have already seen an upgrade and the US store is just behind.

This thread works hand-in-hand with the iTunes 4K thread in that live upgrades are announced there and removed from here, even if it is in advance of the date that was originally featured here.

If you spot something missing, create a post and I'll add to the OP when possible.

Warning: this is by no means a guarantee!

January 16
The Raid: Redemption

February 13

The Ten Commandments is already playing back 4K DV for some in the US.

Really appreciate this thread! Will make it so much easier to keep up with when to expect upgrades to hit.

I was hoping this movie would get the iTunes extras that they have in the US once it upgraded to 4K in the UK store but there is no extras preview. Is it safe to assume these extras are not coming?

Many films from Paramount don't feature extras. Maybe I am wrong.

I’m pretty sure that all recent Paramount movies get whatever extras are on the discs But there are also older movies like Ten Commandments that extras in the US store But not over here

All Paramount Presents series Blus seem to be getting the 4k treatment on iTunes day of disc release or a bit before.

No extras in the UK store either.

Also I looked at the US TV app on an AppleTV and there was no 4K yet folks here from the US say 10 Commandments is 4K

I don't think Roman Holiday & The Court Jester are going to happen. I would be surprised if The Greatest Show On Earth gets upgraded too.

"The Court Jester" has a nifty 6K scan out there.

"Roman Holiday" and "The Greatest Show On Earth" both have a neato 4K scan out there.

I believe both are coming, but "Roman Holiday" has indeed taken a while, and may be a while still.

How long after I join am I allowed to add movies to the database or access that database to get the iTunesID number?

[Alan Gordon]

• Anatomy Of A Murder (1959) [HDR10]
• Oliver! (1968) [HDR10]
• The Social Network (2010) [Dolby Vision]
• Stripes [Extended Cut] (1981) [HDR10]
• Taxi Driver (1976) (Dolby Vision)

September 14th, as part of a Columbia Classics Vol. 2 set.

"Sense & Sensibility" (1995) which is currently available in 4K digitally, should be upgraded to HDR10 at the same time.

"Stripes" will be 4K for both theatrical and extended, but iTunes only carries the extended cut on the store in the U.S., so I don't know if the Theatrical Cut that ports in via Movies Anywhere will be upgraded or not.

"The Social Network" will also have a new unrated cut, so that may make it's way to iTunes either as an extra or a new listing.

Thanks for these, really great insight. I've included Saw, based on the confirmed release date. However, I'll keep the others as unconfirmed until we know for sure.

I think The Craft has just recently upgraded, so that's one to scrub from the list!

It's showing as 4K in the iTunes Store.

If you already own it in your library, it won't show 4K tags until your library is refreshed. You can do this by purchasing something (even something free), signing in and out of your account, or waiting a few days. It SHOULD play in 4K though.
