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

Theatrical Release Date: August 9, 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 30, 2024

PVOD Estimate: Mid November 2024
Theatrical Release Date: October 4, 2024
Tracking: An 11/5 PVOD release is expected.

Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($19.99)
PVOD Estimate: Mid/Late December 2024

Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Early December 2024
Theatrical Release Date: October 18, 2024
