Re: Let's talk about Ultra HD Blu-ray
I picked up Revenant for $24.99 at Target although I won't have a 4K Player or display for many months. To me, it makes sense to pay $5 to $7 more for the extra 4K disc. I'll most likely do the same for Deadpool in a couple weeks.
What has gotten me more excited about 4K is that a new PS4 will support it. I've been planning on getting a second PS4 for my daughter in time for the new Final Fantasy XV, so it was fortunate for me that FFXV was delayed so long in time for me to get the 4K PS4.
Once I have the new PS4, then I will actively look for a 4K projector. The Sony VPL-VW665ES is the model that I have my eye on, but I'd like to find a authorized version for under $10k. Hopefully there will be either a price drop or a model refresh by this fall.

Re: Let's talk about Ultra HD Blu-ray
The existing Blu-ray for Labyrinth was sourced from a 4k master. That part was done a few years ago. However, I presume that the UHD disc will be re-graded for HDR and remixed into Atmos. How long that usually takes, I don't know.

Re: UHD release announcements
sounds like Lionsgate will be aggressive in releasing it's back catalog:
Steve Beeks Bullish on Catalog, 4K Ultra HD Releases
Characterizing the launch of 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and digital distribution as being in its infancy, Lionsgate co-COO Steve Beeks says the studio remains ahead of the industry remastering titles for distribution in the new high-definition format. Lionsgate is remastering its top 100 movies in UHD for digital, broadcast and physical release.
“It is an opportunity for us to continue to release, not only new product, but go back to the library and release key titles once again,” Beeks said on a May 26 fiscal call.
The executive expects the winter holidays and fourth quarter to be “pretty big” for 4K releases.
“I think you’re going to see [4K Ultra HD] determine its course over the next several months.”
Separately, Beeks said Lionsgate’s home entertainment library of proprietary and third-party titles earmarked for distribution generated $520 million in revenue in the fiscal year (ended March 31), with contribution to the bottom line of around $200 million.
He said the library business continues to grow — adding 600 titles in the past year — even after posting its largest-year of contribution over the past 10 years, with cash flow approaching $300 million.
Beeks, who is also president of the motion picture group, said third-party companies continue to seek out Lionsgate to distribute and manage their movie libraries because of “our success in that area.”
“The truth is the library business is still very robust for us,” he said.
Steve Beeks Bullish on Catalog, 4K Ultra HD Releases
Characterizing the launch of 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and digital distribution as being in its infancy, Lionsgate co-COO Steve Beeks says the studio remains ahead of the industry remastering titles for distribution in the new high-definition format. Lionsgate is remastering its top 100 movies in UHD for digital, broadcast and physical release.
“It is an opportunity for us to continue to release, not only new product, but go back to the library and release key titles once again,” Beeks said on a May 26 fiscal call.
The executive expects the winter holidays and fourth quarter to be “pretty big” for 4K releases.

Re: UHD release announcements
This is pretty sweet...not sure if the Amazon exclusive will be the only Ultra HD version to include the 3D Blu-ray, but most releases haven't been including the 3D Blu-ray discs, so I like this set a lot.
