Don’t think I’ve ever seen a bad looking HD cgi animated film so should look fine.

Here is their latest response:

And we’re finally back to 4KDV

FWIW, There is a Kung Fu Panda 4 in production due for release next year (current ETA March 2024). Good chance that the series all gets upgraded to 4K HDR/DV in the next 12-18 months.

Training Day flipped in the UK

I don’t when but Casablanca was relisted on the Irish Store.

In the iTunes Store app it shows as available to buy and in 4K

In the TV app it shows the one I already and the purchase option for the relist and the details show 4K but does mean that both are 4K ?

Also could someone post a screen shot of the Extras section - I want to see if there any new added.

Somebody has brought up the fact that XanderAE hasn't posted since December, so the iTunes Upgrade thread hasn't been updated in a while.

• Should we move talk of future upgrades to this thread?
• Should we continue to talk about future upgrades in the upgrade thread, even when the first post isn't updated?
• Should I start a new thread?

What are everybody's thoughts?

FYI, some future upgrades listed below:

14 February
The Way We Were (May now be postponed)
Rocky II
Rocky III
Rocky IV

14 March
The Prince Of Egypt

28 March
Cinderella (1950) [Probably a relist though]

4 April
Cool Hand Luke
The Maltese Falcon
Star Trek VI: Generations
Star Trek VII: First Contact
Star Trek IX: Insurrection
Star Trek X: Nemesis

18 April
Rebel Without A Cause
Superman II
Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut
Superman III
Superman IV: The Quest For Peace

TBA

Another possible upgrade that I haven't seen mentioned... the Digital Bits is reporting that Enter the Dragon is part of a WB 4k box set being released in September.

Mulholland Drive (2021 Restoration) downgraded from to in UK . Studiocanal doing it to us again.

[PopNLock]

Training Day has now flipped to 4K Dolby Vision/Atmos in the US too. And, from just the first 30 minutes or so that I have seen, it looks and sounds really good. Also, I think that iTunes just added all the special features not that long ago.

Just wrote them about all the titles that was downgraded, but I can only encourage all of you whom own StudioCanal titles in the UK store, write to StudioCanal directly, and make them aware of the problems, the more people who write them and complaint, the bigger the chance of them fixing it

Here is the StudioCanal email :

Did The Doors revert back to HD? It was on my 4k list for a long time, but now it isn't showing there. When I play it through appleTV app it says it is 4k, but not if I go through iTunes Movies app on the apple TV?

downgrades happen when they are fixing/updating something, it will return to 4K eventually.

different regions have different rules, whatever they are fixing may not apply to your country/region.
