Not all of the film distributors have gone 4K UHD yet and that includes some big distributors
The amount of 4K UHD releases is very small % of films compared to standard blu-ray

It's still early stages in 4K UHD as a lot of the public not upgraded to a 4K TV yet most only upgraded to 1080p TV and 1080p/3D TV in past 4-7 years and wont have a need to change their TV yet

In 2-3 years time it will change and some will skip 4K and go straight to 8K TV in 2020 and by then the market will have lot of customers to sell to
Gradually there will be 4K UHD releases this year and increase following years

I don't believe there will be 8K in 3 years - or even 10 years, unless the major studios start shooting everything digitally in 8K or higher. A very select amount of movies are ever shot in 8K for IMAX. Even then, some IMAX films were actually shot on 35mm film or a 4K digital equivalent.

There is no way current movies will ever be released on 8K discs (if that ever exists) because most commercial films are shot on 35mm film or 4K digital. I doubt that upscalling to 8K would look good. Also, there would be no reason for 8K in the home. No one is going to have a large enough screen in their house to justify it.

If 8K flat screens ever come out, it won't be anytime soon and none of the current movies will be released in that format - maybe a handful, but not much more than that.

FYI, HDMI 2.1 specification with 8K support (with 8K60 and 4K120 refresh rates) was announced six weeks ago

I said 8K TV not 8K Blu-ray
8K consumer TV's are already in production and will be available end of this year or early next year prices expected to be at higher end at first but TV manufactures will have lot more models at cheaper prices by 2020.

3 years from now you will see most of the TV manufactures have 8K Tv's on the market and at reasonable price
Japan 2020 olympics will be broadcast in full 8K so the 8K TV will have a TV tuners capable of receiving 8K transmissions by then

Why purchase a 4K TV unless your need a new TV now when you can wait 3 years and get a 8K TV instead
4K UHD Blu-ray releases will have more releases over the coming next 2 years but won't be as quick as it was from DVD to Blu-ray as most consumers who only purchased a 1080p TV in last 4-7 years won't have a need to upgrade yet to 4K TV and when they do will be more likely be in 3-4 years and by then 8K TV will be the product TV manufactures will be promoting for sale instead of 4K TV

In 3 years from now you will have lot more of 4K UHD Blu-ray releases as lot of the consumers upgraded their 1080p TV to 4K TV or 8K TV
Amount of capable 4K or 8K TV's in homes is what creates the demand for release of Films on 4K UHD Blu-ray on a large scale until most have capable 4K TV in their homes release of 4K UHD Blu-ray will be at slow pace

Most of the worlds Internet is not up to snuff when it comes to 4K, 8K is alot further away than you think.

That doesn't mean 8k TV's are coming soon. In the short term, these cables can be used for 8K monitors that people use for certain fields like computer editing, science, surveillance, etc., but I don't think it will be available to consumers anytime soon. There just isn't any content to watch in that format. Besides, there are close to zero movies to watch in that resolution and virtually no TV content. And broadcasters are not going to replace all of their expensive equipment and cameras just to get on the 8K bandwagon. Many broadcasters are still shooting content in the HD format and haven't even switched to 4K yet.

Not really sure what the point of an 8K TV would be if there is nothing to watch on it.

 

[thewoe]

Most films past and present shot on film/digital were shot in 2k - 6.5k there will be no point in 8k as they will all be upscaled.

Inside artwork is cool. Probably all it has going for it aesthetic wise

Agree.

Although content wise it's ''the FIRST MARVEL 4K release (I thought there were 4K Deadpool and X-Men releases already ) and has 6 hrs of bonus features in HD''

8k TV is already available if you got lot of cash available and consumer 8K TV's are been launched end of this year or early 2018
You will see lot of TV manufactures have 8K TV's on the market by 2020 (3 years from now) Tokyo Olympics in 2020 will be broadcast in full 8K

8K TV's is not about getting 8K UHD Blu-ray that's totally different and will be 4K UHD for a good while before you see 8K Blu-ray

TV broadcasts will be in 8K from 2020 with TV also having 8K TV tuners and Set-top boxes Like Sky etc it's only 3 years away
You can be sure Premier League Footbal/Champions League will be 8K broadcast after 2020 and will be a huge selling point and Fifa World Cup in 2022 will most likely also be broadcast in 8K
