Sony Pictures has confirmed recently that they inked a deal with IMAX and DTS to release all new Ultra HD Blu-ray for new titles in the IMAX Enhanced format including DTS:X sound. This is a departure from their previous usage of Dolby Atmos.
The first signs of this are part of this week site’s update as both A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood and Jumanji: The Next Level are now confirmed on the format.
Update: Journey to Space now have a date. According to Amazon it will be released on June7th.
You can add Shout Factory to the list of supporters of 4K UltraHD Blu-ray with the announcement of six IMZX movies (dates to be confirmed) :
- Journey to Space
- Humpback Whales
- Flight of the Butterflies
- Rocky Mountain Express
- Wonders of the Artic
- The Last Reef : Cities Beneath The Sea
I’m curious to understand why some studios like Disney and Universal are still waiting to announce any plans…
