Warner Bros 4K Blu-ray: Huge improvement in colors and detail. The restoration was done by the Academy instead of WB MPI which explains that there’s no grain management or issues with colors. They also accessed the original credit optical and scanned that one instead of recreating them digitally
Theatrical: WB 4K Blu-ray, according to Saentz, the 5.0 is a recreation of the original and subsequently 70mm mix from original elements.

Later Warner Bros Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray are minor downgrades
Director: William Wyler
Warner Bros 4K Blu-ray
The 4K Blu-ray 5.0 is the original mix, but more muffled than LaserDisc and even the previous Blu-ray's gentle remix. The Atmos mix is revisionist.
The 50th Anniversary box set has some exclusive extras.
1991 LaserDisc is Dolby Stereo matrix encoded from the original six track master and this was later upgraded to a 5.1 Dolby Digital version prepared for the first DVD. The 5.1 version may have had some slight tweaking in the process. This was reused for the DVD CE boxset and then the 5.1 on Blu-ray seems like a slight upgrade of the DVD track. (The first pressing from the UCE boxset had audio defects rampant on the Blu-ray. These were corrected for standalone pressings.) All 5.1s sound roughly the same as the LaserDisc 2.0 in terms of the mix, but the LaserDisc PCM mastering seems like the only one that is direct without any major processing.
Director: Ryan Coogler
WB 4K Blu-ray
WB 4K Blu-ray, excellent Atmos mix
WB MOD 4K Blu-ray Replacement Disc
The first pressing had a botched 5.1 mix, the second one has Atmos, which is an upgrade to the Blu-ray. Encoding is good.

(by this comparison)
Original Dolby Stereo: Warner Bros LaserDisc 2.0 vs Warner Bros DVD?
The (2006 or 2013?) Warner Bros Blu-ray 5.1 is similar but higher in LFE.
The atmos/5.1 on the 4K Blu-ray are a new different mix by the director.
