K getting the 4K Catalog Upgrade horror title and (so far) passing on the two direct-to-video horror titles is the best start to a Halloween season that K has had in many years.28 Days Later (2003) in C_DV/C_HDR/C_SDR/DV/HDR/SDR with DTS-HD Master 5.1 from Sony Pictures
28 Days Later
A man wakes from a coma to find that a virulent disease has caused widespread violence and destruction. Horror, Sci-Fi. Directed by Danny Boyle. Starring Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris, Christopher Eccleston, and Megan Burns. Purchase and download today in 4K Cinematic Dolby Vision.www.kaleidescape.com
Yeah, I heard about that, I don’t know if it’s been 100% confirmed as intentional or unintentional yet though. One of the benefits of K if it does end up being unintentional and we can get an updated master haha.
It’s a very minor change in the grand scheme of things, and doesn’t really bother me either way personally.
The second photo I uploaded has an explanation of what happened
Pretty sure it’s speculation, albeit a fairly likely explanation, “most likely added in post production”
Went to the Kscape event at CEDIA tonight. What caught my eye was Kscape showing clips from 2001 in 8K. Preview of things to come possibly………….

The new steelbook has a Dolby Atmos audio mix. Any chance the K version gets upgraded along the way?
Probably another dumb studio restriction for non-physical media

What's the studio thinking (yes, perhaps an oxymoron) behind this policy? Why hobble digital?

We haven't seen the 4K version update across all digital stores yet so we don't know what the expectation is for this title. However, when studios reserve certain assets for physical releases it's usually because it's expected to be higher quality. K is an outlier but 99.99% of digital distribution is going to be heavily compressed and that's what's targeted.

Got it - have to remember that K is not seen by studios as a separate platform from the rest of streaming.
K should push against that

But what's so strange about this is that you'd think studios would continue to push consumers towards streaming and not provide richer features to what is no doubt a quickly-shrinking market for physical. I have to think studios make more on a digital sale than a physical one (what with the reproduction/distribution expenses associated with physical). I love physical media (and K!) but even I know I'm not part of a growing group.

This assumes audio-quality is a widespread driver for consumer choice and unfortunately the market has proven again and again that's not the case. Physical media was down to 1.4% of the home video market in 2025 and half of that is DVDs. So, the "we want lossless audio" crew was smaller than 0.7% of the market last year and will be smaller this year.

None of that is surprising to me - but that being the case, it's surprising that studios feel they need to provide better features (i.e., Atmos) to 0.7% of the market! It almost makes more sense for me for no platform to have enhanced audio than for physical media to have it exclusively. I suppose that's because those features matter to that small sliver of the marketplace, but why would that be cost effective to the studios?

I think we're seeing remnants of legacy organizations with dedicated physical teams still existing for some studios. In time these will go away and then it'll just be one digital team with one set of assets. Let's hope in that case that lossless audio for home video remains an option. Ultimately new codecs and compression will delivery better and better audio, but until consumers demand it en masse things are going to be slow going.
