Well… starting yesterday morning, people began receiving the following reply:
“Dear Consumer,

And indeed, our sources have informed us off the record that efforts are being made to correct these errors and to author and replicate replacement discs.
An official statement has yet to be made by the studio, but we feel confident reporting that this is indeed happening. If and when they do issue a statement, we’ll share it here on The Bits. So our suggestion is for you to follow the instructions above to get your fixed copies.
And we would like to thank everyone at Universal for addressing this issue so promptly.
All right, two other pieces of news today…
First, Lionsgate has officially announced the 4K Ultra HD release of Law Abiding Citizen on 11/6. The films stars Jamie Foxx and Gerald Butler. The 4K package will include the film in 4K with both Dolby Atmos audio and Dolby Vision HDR, and you’ll also get a Blu-ray copy of the film with all the previous extras.
And you’ll recall that we reported yesterday that Lionsgate would be bringing The Rambo Trilogy to 4K Ultra HD, based upon an 11/14 street date listing by French retailers. Well, Best Buy has now listed the individual films for release on 4K Ultra HD here in the States on 11/13. There’s no sign of a trilogy set here in the States yet, nor does Rambo (2008) appear to be planned for release in 4K at this time (but we’d be surprised if it didn’t follow sooner than later).
We’ve updated our 4K Ultra HD Release List here at The Bits accordingly.
That’s all for now. Stay tuned…
