Barbie UHD

I'm fairly sure I'm correct with this. When Barbie was made available to buy on Sky Store, Apple TV+ & Amazon, it was available in UHD for £19.99. This week the price has been reduced on all 3 platforms to £13.99 but only Amazon has the UHD version. Any ideas why?

Your duplicate post has been removed. The original post you couldn't find was here, on the Sky Store board.

It would be helpful if it was mentioned somewhere that my post had been moved, I wouldn't have wasted my time typing it out again.

I didn't move it. Not sure where you first posted it but if it has been moved the usual moved marker wasn't applied. Never mind, it's in the correct place imo.

@Mr+Ripley because only Amazon currently have the rights to do so!

That's a bit odd though for both Sky and Apple to lose the UHD rights in the space of a week.

Related to the change in sales window now it only £13.99 and not a premier?

Film distribution is not necessarily logical in any way.

One possibility is that it's linked to the 4K Blu-ray release on October 17th

The 4K Blu-ray sure is pricey, £24.99. Yes, it has a few extras but not enough to warrant an extra £11.
