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: 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: Mid/Late October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: July 26, 2024
Tracking: A 10/1 PVOD release date is confirmed.
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: Early/Mid October 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 9, 2024
Tracking: The film launched on PVOD on 9/24.
Theatrical Release Date: August 16, 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 23, 2024

Tracking: The film launched on VOD/Digital for purchase on 9/27.
Theatrical Release Date: August 30, 2024

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

VOD/Digital Estimate: Early November 2024
Theatrical Release Date: September 13, 2024
Tracking: A 10/1 PVOD release date is expected.

Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Late October/Early November 2024

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 it could get a high profile HBO and/or CNN premiere before a digital release.

VOD/Digital Estimate: Mid November 2024
Theatrical Release Date: September 27, 2024
Tracking: How long can Francis Ford Coppola keep this in theaters and off streaming? The film is available for pre-order at a PVOD price-point, but we’re still thinking he’ll get until November.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Early/Mid November 2024
Theatrical Release Date: September 27, 2024

Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: Mid/Late November 2024
Theatrical Release Date: September 27, 2024
