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: June 28, 2024
Tracking: The film released on VOD and digital platforms on 9/10.
Theatrical Release Date: July 12, 2024
Tracking: Cohen Media recently announced this title would hit digital ‘next month.’ Since its Blu-ray release date is 10/1, we’re guessing the digital release will be day-and-date. Will post when confirmed.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: October 1, 2024
Theatrical Release Date: July 12, 2024
Tracking: Still crickets on a digital release. Will be interesting to see if A24 tries to re-launch this theatrically for Oscar consideration.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Late September/Early October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: July 26, 2024
Tracking: This Disney release will likely follow their 2024 playbook: At least 60-days theatrically exclusive. We’re expecting the studio to announce the digital date in the next week or so.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Late September/Early October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 2, 2024

Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Late September/Early October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 9, 2024

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.

Theatrical Release Date: August 23, 2024
Tracking: A 9/17 PVOD release date is expected.

Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: Mid/Late October 2024

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.

Theatrical Release Date: September 6, 2024

Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Mid/Late October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: September 6, 2024

PVOD Estimate: October 1, 2024
Theatrical Release Date: September 13, 2024
Tracking: Lionsgate’s 3-week theatrical window strategy has been steady, with a few titles only getting 18 days. No reason to think this one will take any longer.

PVOD Estimate: Early October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: September 13, 2024
