That is odd that it’s not on the “New 4k Arrivals” list. Interesting.

I've found that those 'lists' or highlight rows on the site/app do not auto-populate, they're manually updated. Oftentimes release-day new titles are available by search but don't appear in any specified list until later. Generally just after 9am California time, which leads me to believe titles can automatically become active in the store, but don't automatically populate to specific lists, and if a title is added to the store after those lists have been updated for the day, often it's the following day when they're added.
Taking things one step further into my speculation, if a title like the Exorcist makes it past that second day without being added to a highlighted category list, I ASSUME that perhaps there is more coming, perhaps K is refining the HDR encode, or they've requested a new Atmos audio track, and they don't want to promote the title until updates have been made.
100% speculation on my part.

I like your speculation! Sounds great to me.

I had already the K HD version from disc upgrade pricing some time ago. My upgrade to the 4k UHD cost $9.99. I suspect this is an error on K's part?

I suspect: You would’ve gotten the cheaper price on the disc-to-HD. That’s a disc offer, which in my experience is under $5. Now you’re going from store HD to store UHD. So that’s a store upgrade, which in my experience is $9.99. But would definitely love Mike to weigh in — I’m just going based on what I’ve observed with different Warner upgrade offers.
You probably deleted your cataloged blu-ray before the store started remembering your discs, even after deletion.
I bet if you catalog the blu-ray again, you'll see the lower price.
Not just HDR, but also the Director's Cut. Personally I'm far more concerned about that. I'm pretty much only going to watch the Director's Cut, so while I got the upgrade to UHD, I won't be watching it. I'm pretty bummed out this is happening. I just wish we got a response if this is just a delay or if we need to get the physical disc to get the Director's Cut.

Agreed
Yeah this is hugely disappointing new trend with them…hope it’s just a fluke. It seems to be relegated to catalog titles from Warner and Parmount being neutered in some form or fashion compared to even the lowly streamers. Enter the Dragon has the Atmos but no HDR, Exorcist is a total mess missing hdr/atmos/cuts, Flight has no HDR, I get the WWZ thing being Shout though and I’m assuming Footloose as well with 4K SDR no HDR. Also Ferris has Atmos but no HDR.
It’s still not being promoted on the site or app. This is very odd for one of the biggest catalog title releases of the year. Hopefully this means they are working on the issues that users are mentioning in this thread. Rosemary’s Baby is due in a couple of weeks. Fingers crossed we don’t see the same issues.
I'm also puzzled by why the studios insist on so much secrecy with K. They often don't announce upcoming titles, there are almost never dates announced. I am genuinely puzzled by why the studios would want this secrecy. They promote their releases of discs. I know K always says they follow studio instructions on these things, but I can not understand why the studios do this at all.

We can only hope at this point, but more movies are being released in the store in 4K with SDR. This is a problem. I went ahead and just got the 4K disc.
It’s very odd that they are not promoting this considering the importance of this film and also that it’s October and horror movie month. Maybe they are working on adding director’s cut and 4K.
