Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will launch its first new feature film on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray disc with the March 29 launch of Concussion.
The movie will go on sale at JB Hi Fi later when several new UHD 4K Blu ray players go on sale.
The new movie will follow the studio’s March 1 release of its first six catalog titles on 4K discs.
Those titles are The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Salt, Hancock, Chappie, Pineapple Express, and The Smurfs 2.
Pricing on the new title was not announced.
All of the films are available with high dynamic range (HDR).
The 4K Concussion disc also features Dolby TrueHD 7.1 soundtrack with Dolby Atmos.
Also on March 29, Blu-ray and DVD versions of Concussion will also be available. And on March 15, a digital version will be available.
Three other home-video companies — Lionsgate, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainments, and Warner Brothers Home Entertainment — plan to launch 4K Blu-ray titles to coincide with this year’s conservative hardware launch from Samsung, Philips, and Panasonic.
Concussion is based on a true story about a forensic neuropathologist who diagnoses a new brain disease and its link to concussion-related injuries in professional football players.
