@MAttHEATLifer - has this thread fallen by the wayside. If it is hasn't and you are still monitoring, the original post might need some attention.

I just had a look at the 20th Century Fox (immersive section) and the only title that has still to have updated audio is

ID4 - Independence Day.

The reason I ask is that a question was raised over on AVS about the percentage of movies that don't have immersive audio opposed to disc and I directed the poster to your thread. However with those titles still showing as missng, it gives a rather slewed impression of the missing titles.

These titles also need removing from the list.

The Divergent Series: Insurgent (Atmos)
The Divergent Series: Allegiant (Atmos)
The Legend of Hercules (Atmos)

Just a head’s up on this: There are some titles in the Store that are Dolby Atmos while the disc version has DTS:X. These seem to be mainly Sony titles but I haven’t looked closely at this. I personally prefer the Dolby Atmos soundtrack.

P.S. This seems like a lot of work to update this. I think I would just clean up the current list (delete titles where immersive tack has been added) before looking for new ones.

It's amazing how dominant DTS was in the Blu-ray era with DTS-MA and how things flipped in the immersive audio era with Dolby Atmos wrecking DTS:X in terms of adoption and use.

I'm really hoping we might see upgrades to the Matrix series with the release of Resurrections.

Just curious, is there anyone else who likes to have the theatrical soundtracks instead of new soundtracks?

Belfast is available with Atmos track on other digital platforms.

I recently noticed after downloaded Everest that this one is without Dolby Atmos although the Blu-ray is with Atmos.

Yes it's on the list in the first post.

Oh sorry. Apparently haven’t read it properly.

 

[steelman1991]

No apologies necessary, just pointing it out.

Wow, that's a surprise! Seems like the HD version has Atmos, but 4K HDR does not.

Sony's The Guns of Navarone is missing the Dolby Atmos track and the original theatrical 4 channel track. Both are on the UHD disc release.

 

[JohnJ]

“The Guns of Navarone” is a title which we are waiting on the HDR release on K after it was released on disc in HDR. For some reason, it has been delayed along with a number of other Sony titles.

Just as an update to new Kaleidescape owners, Fox and NBCUniversal are the two hold-outs on adding Atmos to their 4K releases. This finally happened with new releases getting the Atmos tracks when available but it has been Very slow back-filling the older titles. These two studios did Supply Atmos tracks on HD titles from the beginning - so Obviously a different flow for getting Atmos on 4K content.

Anyway, just a long-winded way of saying watch out on Fox and Universal 4K title soundtracks.

Hi John,

True for older Universal 4K titles, unfortunately. The only updates I remember are “1917” and “Hobbs and Shaw”.

Re Fox, I own most of their older releases and they have all been updated to Atmos. Comparing with the list from post 1, only “Independence Day:20th Anniversary Edition” is missing the DTS:X track.
However, 4K releases on disc with the DTS-HD MA 7.1 track are still with the 5.1 in the K store, no upgrade there. No big deal for me though as I use the Altitude’s DSU.
