I think sadly all the new releases have lossy DTS for the original Stereo mix. I went to go check if the last Liongate blu-ray had lossless audio because remember it being there and it is. However, at the same time I spotted lossy DTS on the DE release as well.
Sadly, everyones using StudioCanal's release, which is shame because had Liongate, at least used their own for the original Stereo mix, we'd at least lossless in the US.
Seems like the video encode isn't much better. That's how Studio Canal rolls in 4K - great restorations, piss-poor compression. Whereas Lionsgate's UHDs are pretty much universally excellent, unlike their consistently shite-encoded BDs.

I've heard about that myself as well. As some people bring that up on the Blu-ray com, forum. Though I also understand that it may also sometime be who they hire for the encoding process, like "Flash Gordon", which has excellent picture quality due to the mapping from what I hear. If the encoding is as bad as some say, I have a feeling it's because Studio Canal, to the film for granted. As we know many will gripe over things like that, but eventually succumb and buy the product.
