This is not a deal, insomuch as none of these titles can be purchased from MoviesAnywhere.com. Instead, each title listed must be purchased from a MA digital retailer. Plus, not all of the the titles are on sale at each digital retailer, and it's left to the user to sort through each title in the list to identify who has what on sale.

This "deal" is akin to listing all the Blu-ray titles that are on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, Target & Walmart, but not identifying which retailer has which titles on sale.

Blu-ray.com [blu-ray.com] offers a much more useful tool for finding deals at specific retailers and can filter MA-only titles, too. Below are some retailer-specific links, sorted by price and filtered for MA titles:

Amazon HD [blu-ray.com]
Amazon 4K UHD [blu-ray.com]

FandangoNOW HD [blu-ray.com]

Google Play HD [blu-ray.com]
Google Play 4K [blu-ray.com]

iTunes HD [blu-ray.com]
iTunes 4K [blu-ray.com]

Microsoft HD [blu-ray.com]
Microsoft 4K [blu-ray.com]

Some of these are UHD 4K. For example:
1. Jumanji
2. The Shape of Water
3. Mrs. Doubtfire
4. The Blues Brothers Unrated
5. Warcraft
6. Storks
7. Who Framed Roger Rabbit
8. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
9. Heat
10. Dr. Strangelove
11. Focus
12. The Nice Guys

I'm sure there are others

I must have super powers because I have the ability to just glance down the list and see which movies I like no matter what order they are in. Heck, I could probably even handle reverse alphabetical order

If it is MA compatible and you have all of your accounts linked, if you buy it in iTunes it'll show up in VUDU.

I will add that I have the best Dolby Atmos/Vision experience through the AppleTV/iTunes app. I have had poor experiences watching through the VUDU app.

In the case of that movie, yes. When you purchase it from iTunes, you purchased the 4K rights to the movie which will transfer to Movies Anywhere and on to Vudu, so Vudu will show you own the UHD version of Back to the Future.
Awesome thanks! Wish they had the trilogy.

Maybe it's just me, but when I purchase from iTunes I'm never quite sure if I'm purchasing a true 4K license, or just HD license "upgraded to 4K' viewing in iTunes. As they never say expilcitly when you purchase it, nor when it shows in your library.

For example, a few years ago I purchased a three-movie bundle from iTunes that's actually called "WB 4K HDR Action & Adventure Collection" on my Apple receipt, yet all three movies transferred to MA and Vudu only in HD. And yes, the movies do have a 4K version in Vudu.

Which is why I now try to buy my 4K MA movies anywhere except iTunes....as 4K means true 4K MA transfer at every other vendor.

Ok so it's a little confusing, but I'll try to explain.

Single movies purchased through iTunes will give you MA rights for the quality you purchased it for at the time. For example, I purchase "Moneyball" in HD, then MA will show HD. If a 4K version comes out, Apple will upgrade my HD to 4K, but only in iTunes. It will not upgrade the movie through MA. If you buy a 4K movie in iTunes, it will send the 4K rights to MA, even if no where else has it in 4K yet. Once they do, you'll have the 4K upgrade on Vudu already.

Bundles are a completely different animal. Bundles will never transfer out of iTunes in 4K if the bundle ends in $.99. Something about the cost of bundles does not include the full 4K rights to a film, just the iTunes rights. If a bundle ends in $.98 or $0.97 or something, then it will transfer the 4K rights because that bundle is just the combination of the individual movie costs put together. Make sense? It's hella confusing.

I do remember reading something not that long ago about bundles now transferring as 4K from iTunes, but I can't seem to find that right now.

Bundles transfer out of iTunes as 4K into Movies Anywhere, regardless of the price/cents. This is a recent change.

Ah thank you! I remember seeing that in the forums but wasn't able to immediately find it.

But yeah the bundles transferring as 4K thing was such a buzzkill for so long. But that and Disney movies in 4K are both huge steps forward to a true movies anywhere experience. Now we just need to get the last remaining studios on board.

As I've explained here and elsewhere a million times, the reason bundles didn't transfer was because the price ended in .99 was because those bundles were discounted from their a la carte prices and since you were paying less, you lost the 4K rights on other platforms. At least that's how it worked until recently.

For example: iTunes has a Matrix Trilogy bundle for $19.99 while each title sells separately for $9.99. You're saving $10 by buying the bundle, so you lost the 4K at Vudu. Now imagine iTunes as a Nolan Batman Trilogy bundle for $14.97 while each movie a la carte is $4.99. All the bundle does is save you two transactions (i.e. you buy three movies in one transaction, not one for Batdude Starts, one for The Good One with the Joker, and one for The Dark Knight Reloaded), not money compared to the Matrix bundle saving you money.
