Something like Valkyrie strikes me as a more casual sort of purchase and I'm not sure 4Kers are in general a casual wide audience.

I don’t have non-U.S. numbers but VALKYRIE earned $28 mil from domestic home video sales, while EASTERN PROMISES cleared slightly under half of that, $13.7. Even using your argument that 4K customers are cut from a different kind of cloth (and if you look at any number of wtf titles that have made it to the format, it’s clear that studios pretty much en masse don’t see that to be the case), the economics still can’t be upended enough by that to justify VALKYRIE being dropped from consideration as a no-profit risk (the sex offender thing is more understandable, but in a world where the X-MEN films are presently being given all new premium Steelbook makeovers, that one doesn’t stick the landing for me, either).

I guess there's two years until the 15th anniversary, so maybe then?
