Kingsman: The Secret Service, The Maze Runner, Life of Pi and Exodus: Gods and Kings— these are the first four UltraHD HDR titles to be released by Fox Home Entertainment.

As previously reported in The Hollywood Reporter, 20th Century Fox recently decided to make versions of all of its new and recent movies in UHD with HDR, the biggest commitment to date on the content side. Additional UHD with HDR titles are expected to follow in the coming weeks.

Fox intends to support additional HDR formats as the hardware enters the market. For instance, Ultra HD Blu-ray players are expected in the market during Q4, and Fox is also planning to support this format at launch.

Efforts are underway to standardize HDR. Among them, studio and manufacturer coalition UHD Alliance — which is led by Fox CTO Hanno Basse — is working to create an agreed-upon, consistent and interoperable HDR quality specification for home entertainment.
