No Time To Die - now available to rent - Why no Dolby Atmos audio?

Why would the new "rental" No Time To Die come without a Dolby Atmos track? Dolby Atmos is available form iTunes. I hope it has Dolby Atmos when it becomes available to purchase or I will have to purchase a 4K Blu-ray disc.
 
The Atmos update is now live.

If you rented and have not yet watched the film, the update should be available under My Updates on the store.

If watched it yesterday before the update came through, please let me know.

Howdy folks,

It turns out that our update mechanism is currently having an issue with doing updates for rental content. If you rented and downloaded the movie before the Atmos audio was added, and Update is not working for you, you can instead just delete the movie (using the mobile app or the web store, if you wish, or from the onscreen display or browser interface on your system), and then schedule the download again.

Thanks for this Mike. I ran into this on my system and finally gave up and deleted it. Glad to hear it wasn’t an isolated issue on my system.

The Atmos mix sounded really great despite it being mostly static 7.1 according to a post on AVS. I tried to verify the claim by going through the bookmarked scenes with the Trinnov object viewer and the channel output screen. Sure enough, 95% of the time it's 7.1.

I think you'll find that's the case for many Atmos encoded films.

I know, but in my set-up it doesn't make it any less immersive as a result.

A little surprising for such a high-budget production. For example, in the car-chase scene "We're Leaving", the only time speakers beyond the 7.1 come alive is a few seconds of the church bells ringing.
 
While I do like and look for the Atmos versions of movies I'm buying, I think many Atmos titles are oversold on the improvements. There are certainly some incredible Atmos tracks out there, but I'm beginning to wonder how many have minimal impact on a films audio.

Reading Jim's comment prompted me to start this thread on lossless Atmos music.

My thinking was that anyone who is interested in a complete different level of immersive experience might want to check out Atmos music.
