To keep up with competitors like Paramount and Lionsgate, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment (UPHE) will start releasing movies in 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray this summer. According to Variety, Jason Bourne, Lucy, The Huntsman: Winter’s War, Warcraft, Everest, and Lone Survivor will be among the first titles to hit shelves.

UPHE will progressively roll out titles as the summer goes on, but the start date and pricing details have yet to be unveiled. The company plans to make titles available in 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray disks and digital formats, and it will include some IMAX films as well.

"4K Ultra HD represents a giant leap forward in movie-watching,” UPHE President Eddie Cunningham told Variety. "The format’s stunning resolution and peak luminance, combined with its deep bench of industry support, enables us to deliver to the consumer a truly differentiated viewing experience, one that has the capability to power the future of home entertainment."
