I know there's another thread about this release, but I thought my qustion is better would be better asked in the form of a new thread

.

My question is: what about future presses of older releases like Superman Returns, Training Day and the recent Happy Feet? Would Warner be willing to reissue these releases with lossless tracks (and VC-1 in the case of Training Day)?
