Icon have finally commented on Facebook, basically saying certain things weren't made available to other territories.
I just find it interesting that Roadshow consistently licenses special features produced by Lionsgate for their releases, and also sources 4K discs direct from Lionsgate. Roadshow may not often put Atmos on their standard 1080p discs, but they usually make up for it by making a 4K version available, with Atmos.
Also interesting that Hacksaw was screened across the county in Atmos in compatible theatres, yet the track is apparently not available for home media.
Bottom line, Icon spent nothing on this release. They paid people to encode it and chuck subtitles and the 5.1 audio on it, and that's it. And for an Australian movie that has received so much acclaim and awards, that's inexcusable.
