Of course, but I'm forever the optimist.

The banner does state 4k/hdr

Not the first time they’ve mistakenly put 4K HDR on a banner.
I guess there’s always a chance but with the US listing being 4KDV & Atmos with iTunes Extras under Lionsgate I just can’t see it happening for the UK with Entertainment Film being the distributor as so far they have zero movies available in 4K in the UK store, none of them have iTunes Extras either.

Added:
The Green Mile / Missing 4K, Dolby Vision and Atmos audio in the UK
Moonfall / Missing 4K, Dolby Vision and Atmos audio in the UK
Turning Red / Missing Atmos audio in the UK

1917 now has Atmos in the UK.

Also notice you have in the pro US list Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery / Inferior HD master in the UK, as a counter to that the UK version is uncut whereas the US version isn’t.

Thanks Gonzo - while true, I try to place video/audio quality as the deciding factor in the list. But I will add a note to include your comment, as it may prove useful to others.

Final Cut (available in the UK) is best cut(though would love extras). Fight me!

Interesting - I don’t want to derail the thread too much, but I’m yet to see it myself and would appreciate your thoughts on why the Final Cut is best before I decide which version to watch.

Final cut is nearly 4 hours with an intermission. It gives the film room to breathe I feel. Ultimate cut is much shorter and takes some of the context away.

I like the film, flawed as it is. Anyway, apologies for derailing.

White Men and Squad seem to have been removed .

[CandyAss]

And also quite strange seeing as it's a English film . Can't get Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels on the UK store either
