Definitely a shame if this is IMAX enchanted. The first looks and sounds incredible. Why go backwards?
Money. IMAX is trying to "Enhance" their brand by getting one of the Majors to drop Dolby on all new releases. Notice how they aren't doing it with catalog titles like Boyz in the Hood.
Again, it's just a shame. I'm not going to miss out on movies I want but it definitely makes me consider buying used or waiting for deep discounts on anything labeled IMAX. Kind of hate doing that since I want to support the format as much as I can but not if it means supporting lower quality releases.

Why on earth would you think it would look and sound bad down to logos?
What a preposterous thing to say.
No matter the format a good mix is good and a bad one bad.
Same with HDR.

It turns out that you can use objects in DTS: X so that receivers/processors with DTS:X Pro can scale the sound beyond 7.1.4 (so it’s not hard coded to that configuration), but, it’s also possible to not use objects and simply hard code everything to 7.1.4. So, basically, it comes down to how the mixers of the DTS:X track mixed it. If they used objects it’ll be no different than a Dolby Atmos mix. If they hard coded it then it won’t go beyond 7.1.4 channels and anything beyond that would have to be matrixed by the receiver.

Except with Dolby Atmos you can have more objects, and you can also directly import those objects from the theatrical mix while encoding the base layer to Dolby TrueHD. Atmos tracks also take up less space and bandwidth.
I mean I have Zombieland 2 but what was so IMAX enhanced about it? Because it fills up the whole screen?
To me, it comes across as THX 2.0. It'll be interesting to see how it'll compete with the upcoming Filmmaker Mode. I've not experienced it yet, but apparently it's supposed to process the image to how it'd look on an IMAX screen just scaled down to TV size. The site also mentions DNR being used on film content to control grain.
I'm not sure why DTS X is being preferred. Maybe it has something to do with competition with Dolby Atmos. DTS was the leader in sound for a long time, but after Dolby rolled out 7.1/Atmos, Dolby seemed to have DTS beat. Even WB dropped DTS MA 5.1 tracks from their UHD discs that already featured an Atmos mix (It - Chapter One).
Filmmaker Mode won't be doing anything out of the ordinary, it'll just set the TV to 100-nit output for SDR, Warm colour temp and turn off all picture enhancing modes like those that enhance sharpness, colour, motion etc. (The 'Netflix calibrated mode' seen on TVs already does the same thing.) The ironical thing, given the hype, is that several people will take one look at FM mode and run a mile from its dim, yellow image lacking any kind of 'pop'.
As for what it does with HDR content, I can't imagine that the FM mode will be able to be activated when playing Dobly so it's gonna be for HDR10. But even with everything set as it should you can't get around how the TV tone maps, for better or worse.
