Got the following email, shouldn't have bothered upgrading the Dark Knight Trilogy couple weeks ago. Oh well.

Your WB movies are being upgraded

This week we began upgrading your Warner Bros. movies that were purchased on Vudu in HDX to 4K UHD. We're excited and know you are too.

You will notice that your Warner Bros. movies will appear at the top of your My Movies. This will continue as eligible movies are upgraded in the coming weeks.

Please Note:
In some cases you may need to start a new Vudu session (quit the app, sign out/in online) to see these upgrades.

Your comment cannot be blank.

Interesting, but looks like it will prevent you from buying a UHD MA copy on Vudu since you would already own it on Vudu in UHD

Why would you do this..

Because many people prefer to watch their videos on Amazon Prime, Apple TV or Google Play or wherever and this move by Vudu would let them watch the movie in UHD only on Vudu. If you watched it anywhere else it would just be in HD.

There are two big questions about this:
1. Can you refuse the auto UHD upgrade of a MA movie so that you can buy the UHD upgrade so you can watch it in UHD across all MA providers platforms

2. Will Vudu allow you to buy an MA UHD upgrade(cross platform) once they've already upgraded your movie to UHD on their platform.

If you only use Vudu or the movie isn't MA eligible anyway then there's no problem and this is a very nice thing coming.

Hopefully this explains what I was trying to say.

How would this prevent you from buying the 4k version on another platform if it wasn't transferred? Also how do you know these won't transfer 4k to MA and the other vendors?

Welp... Here I am. Two weeks later. Never got the email, but just noticed that my Batman 4-Film collection was upgraded to UHD. It didn't show up at the top of my movie list either. I had to go thru my library and find it. These were probably the only WB movies that are available in UHD that I digitally purchased thru Vudu. Everything else was either with redemption codes from physical purchases or disc to digital conversions. Hopefully at some point they include the code redemptions and disc to digital purchases, but I wouldn't hold my breath...
