When to Stream’s Weekly Tracking Report
Welcome to When To Stream’s Weekly Tracking Report. Every Friday, we’ll break down the film titles whose first window streaming premieres are still not confirmed. This column will not examine second window SVOD premieres, though we’ll obviously still be tracking and reporting those.
One note: There are hundreds of new films every year, and we’re not able to track or highlight every single one. For now, we concentrate on major studio and indie distributor releases.

Here are the film titles (in order of theatrical release) we are currently tracking:
Theatrical Release Date: May 31, 2024
Theatrical Release Date: June 28, 2024
Tracking: This Janus Films/Sideshow release looks to play through its titular season. We’re estimating it’ll arrive on streaming in September.
Pre-Order Availability: No
SVOD/VOD/Digital Estimate: Mid/Late September 2024
Theatrical Release Date: July 12, 2024
Tracking: This Cohen Media release still has no pre-order or digital release date. Pushing back out estimate a bit.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Mid/Late September 2024
Theatrical Release Date: July 12, 2024
Tracking: A24 doesn’t seem to want to pull the trigger on a wider release for this acclaimed title. Unless they’re planning a re-launch for later in the year, look for a digital announcement in the next few weeks.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Mid/Late September 2024
Theatrical Release Date: July 26, 2024
Tracking: This Disney release will likely follow their 2024 playbook: At least 60-days theatrically exclusive. Don’t expect to see this hit digital until the end of September. Hoping we get some news soon.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Late September/Early October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: July 26, 2024
Tracking: The film launched on PVOD on 9/3.
Theatrical Release Date: August 2, 2024
Tracking: Sony Pictures Classics has been pushing this Irish import hard, and it’s doing fine (not great). Sticking to our estimate for now.
Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: Mid/Late September 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 9, 2024
Tracking: NEON has shown flexibility with their titles this year, so we’re estimating this will have a similar window to their Spring hit Immaculate, which launched on VOD/Digital at 25 days. Should hopefully have news on this one soon.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($19.99)
PVOD Estimate: Mid September 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 9, 2024
Tracking: This title is releasing through indie label Metrograph, so we’ll see how quickly they pivot from theatrical to digital. We’re estimating at least 45 days.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Late September/Early October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 9, 2024
Tracking: Another big fat hit for Sony, but we’re still estimating their usual 45-day window.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Mid/Late September 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 16, 2024
Tracking: Using Disney’s 60-day theatrical window model would put this title’s digital date right in the Halloween corridor. Sounds about right.
Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: Mid October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 16, 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 23, 2024
Tracking: Amazon MGM has not been shy to pull the trigger on a PVOD release, which we anticipate they’ll do with this title. Still no pre-order.
Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: Mid/Late September 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 23, 2024
Tracking: A 9/13 PVOD release date is expected.
Theatrical Release Date: August 23, 2024
Tracking: This Sony Pictures Classics release expanding in the coming weeks. We’re estimating it’ll be a while before it hits digital.
Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: Mid/Late October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 23, 2024
Tracking: This buzzy thriller comes from producer Bob Yari’s new distribution company Magenta Light Studios, so there’s not much of a track record to help determine a digital release estimate. Let’s say…45 days.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Early/Mid October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 30, 2024
Tracking: Sony’s genre offerings tend to go to PVOD earlier, so we’re estimating a 30-day window for this Blumhouse Production.
Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: Late September/Early October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 30, 2024
Tracking: Roadside Attractions is handling distribution on this indie, and their titles tend to have a 30-45 day window. Estimating accordingly.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Mid/Late October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 30, 2024
Tracking: This Cohen Media doc expands slowly in the coming weeks, so look for a digital release later in the fall.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Late October/Early November 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 30. 2024
Tracking: Lionsgate has consistently released their film on PVOD after three weeks, no reason they won’t do the same with this action thriller. Maybe even earlier than three weeks for this one.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Mid/Late September 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 30, 2024

Theatrical Release Date: September 6, 2024
Tracking: This looks to be the first big hit of the fall season, but even Warner Bros’ Dune: Part Two hit PVOD after 45 days. We’re guessing the studio will do the same here.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Mid/Late October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: September 6, 2024
Tracking: Like their other 2024 horror titles (Maxxxine, I Saw the TV Glow), we think A24 will take this to PVOD much quicker than their non-genre titles.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Late September 2024
Theatrical Release Date: September 6, 2024
Tracking: A24 expands this slowly in the coming weeks, and we’re estimating an early November release is likely.
