When Avatar 2 eventually becomes available on the iTunes store, is there much chance we could see the HFR version or just the 24fps one?

I would probably think that if there is a high framerate version...it will probably be on 4K Disc but in my opinion its probably not likely. Not all of the new Avatar was filmed at 48FPS and i assume converting that to the 60FPS 4K discs somes times use eg Gemini Man would require some bit of advanced tinkering. Movies like Gemini man were filmed at 120FPS so were a bit more easier to convert to 60FPS.

Saw it today in 3D.  Technically very good but the story line was a bit loose.  3D I think is the only way to see it.  I miss movies not being released in 3D these days.

One of my iTunes purchases has disappeared from my library. I was warned that this could happen, but I didn't think that it would. The film is SOURCE CODE (2011). I have searched for it in the iTunes store, but its no longer available. Anyone else had this happen to them? I just want to know if its a regular occurrence.

 

Just checked the USA store, and its still available there. I don't expect to hear anything back, but I have sent an inquiry to iTunes.
