According to Super Deluxe Edition, it appears to only be a 2 CD set at this time. Not a super deluxe box set. Maybe we'll get an Atmos mix on the streaming services.
 
Here's some info on the upcoming 40th Anniversary Edition of Thriller from Second Disc.com (while Mobile Fidelity are putting out a new SACD for the album, sadly, it doesn't look like there are plans for a 5.1 mix).

What a loss!
Too bad. But the original SACD does come across very well in faked surround. The dynamics on the introduction to Billy Jean are demo material for hi-res.

40K One Step MoFi 180g ONE STEP PRESSINGS ... Egads and a future 2 disc 45RPM One STEP box set ... and yet no one at SONY will spring for a 5.1 or ATMOS remix by the likes of a Steve Wilson or Bob Clearmountain? INSANE!

We all know Jackson rejected multiple attempts at a 5.1 remix ... but the perfectionist isn't around any more and technology in surround mixing has advanced considerably so what's the hold up?

It is hard to believe. Dick-heads....

And you know MoFi is going to charge MORE than the customary $125 per RTI One Step Vinyl pressing and I can only imagine what the 2 disc 45RPM Vinyl box set pressed at RTI will go for [DOUBLE??????]

And neither will include the bonus tracks which will be on the remastered 2 RBCD set! WHOA! Nor will be STEREO hybrid MoFi SACD!
 
The Michael Jackson estate just doesn't want my money. The 3-D Thriller video restoration by John Landis was shown just ONCE at Cannes in 2017 and then they never released it in Blu-Ray. Like why bother to taunt people like this? I wonder if it was in 5.1 or Atmos too?
