This has a 4K DI per the 4K Movie Releases thread.

I really hoped this one would get an initial 4K UHD release. Is it Wes or is it Disney that’s the issue? We may never know.

With no special features this will be a difficult purchase.

Costs money for mastering special features and putting on the disc, even if it's something that's already done and complete. My guess is Disney knows Criterion will release this, and knows we know that, and just wants to get whatever upfront money they can from selling this.

Yeah...I'm thinking the same thing. It will probably go down to $7.99 territory before we know it, so I'll scoop it up then.....

while patiently waiting for the Criterion release which will likely come in 5-6 years.

while I try to be a staunch supporter of physical media, if this goes to streaming in 4K I'd buy it as such, but I wish this was a case like Parasite, where Universal releases their version standard/4K and a deluxe edition from Criterion in a short release window.
