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.

Theatrical Release Date: July 12, 2024
Tracking: A 10/1 VOD/Digital release date is set.
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: Early/Mid October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: July 26, 2024
Tracking: We’re pretty sure a digital release date announcement is imminent.
Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: Early October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 9, 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: September 24, 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 23, 2024
Tracking: This Sony Pictures Classics release is starting to lose theaters. We’re estimating it will be offered for PVOD in the next few weeks.
Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: Early/Mid October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 23, 2024

Tracking: The film became available for VOD/Digital on 9/17.
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: Early/Mid November 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 30, 2024
Tracking: This NEON release will roll out slowly in the next few weeks. We’re estimating a digital release later in the fall.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Mid/Late October 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 around 30-45 days. We’re guessing the studio will do the same here.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Early/Mid October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: September 6, 2024
Tracking: A 9/24 PVOD release date is expected.
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.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($19.99)
VOD/Digital Estimate: Early November 2024
Theatrical Release Date: September 13, 2024
Tracking: A Universal release, so until they demonstrate they’re changing their 18-day window strategy, we’ll keep our predictions consistent.
Pre-Order Availability: No
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.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Early October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: September 13, 2024
Tracking: Saban Films is releasing Kevin Smith’s latest, and their titles mostly hit digital with 3 weeks. Our estimate reflects that strategy.
Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: Early/Mid October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: September 13, 2024
Tracking: This Amazon MGM title continues in limited release this weekend, and expands nationwide on 9/27. We’re estimating a digital at least a month after its expansion.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Late October/Early November 2024
Theatrical Release Date: September 20, 2024
Tracking: A24 opens this title in limited release this weekend, and it goes wide on 10/4. Estimating a digital release about 45-days after that.
Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: Mid November 2024
Theatrical Release Date: September 20, 2024
Tracking: A Lionsgate release, so we’re estimating a 3-week window, which would get this title out in time for Halloween.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Mid October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: September 20, 2024
Tracking: Last year’s big MUBI theatrical titles (Passages, Fallen Leaves) had around two month theatrical windows, but this one is going wide quickly, so we’re estimating it’ll go to streaming a bit earlier.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($19.99)
VOD/Digital Estimate: Early November 2024
Theatrical Release Date: September 21 & 25, 2024 (via Fathom Events)
Tracking: A real wild card. This is going out under the Warner Bros Pictures, DC Studios, HBO, and CNN labels. It’s an awards hopeful, so we think it’s more likely to get a high profile HBO and/or CNN premiere before a digital release.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital/SVOD Estimate: December 2024/January 2025 (Max)
Theatrical Release Date: September 20, 2024
