Blade Runner 2049 Plays in iTunes but not Apple TV

Is there any way I can figure out why a movie won't play on an Apple TV 4K (connected directly via HDMI to a 4K TV) but plays fine on my 1080p 21:9 monitor playing on the system that has iTunes installed? I'm using family sharing to share it over my network and other movies work fine.

This is an annoying problem and seems completely counter-intuitive because the Apple TV 4K can, in theory, handle higher quality content. I could understand if I was playing a 4K movie on my desktop PC because it has a display that isn't capable of handling that resolution, or if I wasn't directly connecting the HDMI cable to the monitor or something like that.
