US Digital Releases for July & August 2026

It’s listed in the movie store for a release tomorrow, it shows a 4k cinematic with SDR?
I saw they updated the listing with a release date not too long after I posted. Was hoping to see formats updated with more options, but that might be a studio choice. It’s showing as 4K & Atmos on Fandango with no mention of HDR or DV.
 
Lawrence of Arabia added in 4K Cinematic SDR & HDR (!!!) with Dolby Atmos from Sony:
With the HDR addition (and hopefully DV not far behind), I'm going to assume that we're dealing with the long-missing updated assets. Amazing!!!

This has made me happy, never thought I would see the day!

Bravo K!!!
 
For Lawrence of Arabia, I’m happy to report that in comparing the new Cinematic HDR against the stellar 4K UHD DV, the Cinematic beat the disc. The image was crisper with the grain so naturally textured. The HDR really adds to the bright desert landscapes and many night scenes; the SDR version available previously was just missing that extra polish. Even without Dolby Vision (which I would still welcome), the Cinematic version is the best way to watch this amazing film.
 
Eyes Wide Shut in 4K SDR/HDR/DV with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 from Warner:
D2D price: $4.92.

Lawrence of Arabia gets an HDR upgrade and we get a Kubrick 4K Dolby Vision upgrade the same day?!?!

P.S. Would love to see the Extras for this title returned to their former HD glory.

Is this being classed as a new release?. I have in 4K but being offered the title at $19.99
 
Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender (2026) DV/HDR/SDR/HD with Dolby TrueHD Atmos from Avatar Studios

Leviticus (2026) in DV/HDR/SDR/HD with DTS-HD Master 5.1 from NEON
 
And it just popped in my head Willow Please IN 4KC!
A personal favorite of mine as well. I'd certainly temper expectations on any improvements for Willow. This was one of Disney's lazier upscales and I honestly had to do a lot of A/B testing to see much difference. Slight improvements in color due to HDR with a barely noticeable increase in details on some scenes.

Eyes Wide Shut deserves 4K Cinematic, but I'll take what I can get for now.

Hmm, it’s showing full price for me. Maybe my Criterion disc doesn’t count?
 
Crime Wave (1954) in HD with DTS-HD Master Mono from Warner Bros.

Is your Criterion disk HD or 4K? I'm not sure you get a disk to disk upgrade discount from a third party 4K to a Kscape 4K but I could be wrong about this..

4k is not officially a thing, so all discs count as either DVDs or BDs (regardless of how many layers.)

Yes It is, I think you're right. It's both Criterion and 4K, so two reasons K can decline to offer D2D. I'll wait for the sale, since I have the movie in 4K already, and haven't even watched it yet. It's creepy.
 
From the Kscape website:

NOTE: While a USB drive that is capable of reading Ultra HD Blu-ray discs may work for cataloging DVDs and Blu-ray discs as described in this article, the cataloging of 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray discs is not supported.

I also have EWS in 4K on disk. It's grainy (see the first scene at Victor Ziegler's party) but I think that's because Kubrick was known for pushing the film speed to the max because he liked the grainy look.
