They already saying it's dead DEAD DEAD
As 2016 matures, we can certainly expect a growing selection of other movies, both new and old to hit shelves and online retailers in this new next-generation 4K format.
What’s most interesting about the new Blu-ray 4K UHD format is that it presents a sort of twilight revival of the hard disc media film format. Given the highly unique circumstances of 4K UHD content not being available to a majority of homes due to insufficient internet bandwidth and a lack of broadcast 4K media sources, discs are a perfect intermediate delivery mechanism for 4K movies and shows, at least until high-speed broadband internet or broadcast and satellite 4K TV become much more widespread. After that, we can likely expect 4K Blu-ray to go the way of DVD and HD Blu-ray (though both do still garner some sales and distribution).
In other words, unless some major surprises in the world of content distribution come along, 4K UHD Blu-ray discs stand a high chance of being the last hard media video formats to hit the mass market in the foreseeable future. Unless of course the 4K content problems of today repeat themselves with 8K video when it emerges and a corresponding 8K version of Blu-ray also arrives on the scene in a couple years.
