It’s peculiar that Nightmare Alley got a physical 4K and Steelbook, but Banshees hasn’t. Domestically, both films grossed roughly the same.

That is Searchlight’s usual strategy: only one movie per year gets a 4K disc.

Given Banshees did well at the Golden Globes and, to date, it's only available on a USA issued Blu-ray A/B/C if it does well at the BAFTA's maybe the UK will issue a domestic 4K version.

Except Banshees cost less than half of Nightmare Alley's budget, and I'm sure they spent a lot less on marketing for it too.

Maybe it's the target audience they're trying to cater to, or maybe Del Toro pushed for a 4K release, and McDonagh wasn't concerned with one?

Some funny moments but soooooooooooooooo depressing.

I liked Three Billboards a lot more and I mean A LOT more.

This movie is Martin's best, In Burges is now a runner up

Man...too bad this film hasn't gotten a 4K UHD. Such breathtaking cinematography even on the "regular" 1080p Blu-Ray release alone.

It really sucks that this and The Menu don't seem to be getting 4K releases. I know it's Disney and all but damn, what a shame because I know I'm not alone in having both movies on my best of 2022 year list.

Hey, at least they were released on BLU (***coughcoughBarbariancoughcough***).

Disney is just following what Searchlight did.

Had the pleasure of watching this last night on Netflix. It was almost distracting how many scenes I told myself, "Man... This would look really great on 4K disc...". Obviously the setting was beautiful and the music and sound mix was amazing. Surely a 4K will come eventually.
