4K movie upgrades

I bought John Carpenter‘s Halloween from iTunes. It’s since been released in 4K but iTunes isn’t showing it as 4K. Does anyone know if it’s coming?

Buying a Movie In the Apple iTunes store, the movie "Dora and the Lost City of Gold" sells for $15, with no indication about the resolution quality. In the Google Play store, the same movie sells for $15 for HD resolution, and $20 for 4K resolution. So, does this mean that the 4K version is not available in the Apple iTunes store? Or, does this mean that the Apple iTunes store is selling the 4K version at a lower price than the Google Play store? https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/dora-and-the-lost-city-of-gold/id1473393537 https://play.google.com/store/movies/details/Dora_And_The_Lost_City_Of_Gold?id=MvzoKxmJXNQ.P

Lionsgate is the distributer for the 2018 40th anniversary edition releases (including UHD Blu-ray) in the US, Canada, and UK, but they weren’t involved with the previous versions anywhere. It is possible that the rights holders may wait a while with 4K streaming, to not hurt the disc sales.
