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.

Pre-Order Availability: No

PVOD Estimate: Mid/Late May 2025


Theatrical Release Date: March 21, 2025

Tracking: This Roadside Attractions titles loses screens this weekend, after only expanding to about 200 last week. We imagine a digital release announcement shouldn’t be too far away.

Pre-Order Availability: No

VOD/Digital Estimate: Late April/Early May 2025


Theatrical Release Date: March 21, 2025

Tracking: Janus Films/Sideshow titles usually take their time in theaters, so we’re thinking we’ll likely see this on digital around Memorial Day weekend.

VOD/Digital Estimate: Late May 2025


Theatrical Release Date: March 28, 2025

Tracking: A 4/15 PVOD release date is expected.

Tracking: As they did with Opus, A24 opened this ultra-wide, with a quick pivot to PVOD likely.

Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)

PVOD Estimate: Mid/Late April 2025

Death of a Unicorn
Starring Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega
Buy on Amazon

Theatrical Release Date: March 28, 2025

Pre-Order Availability: No

PVOD Estimate: Early May 2025


Theatrical Release Date: April 4, 2025

Tracking: A mega-hit, so Warner Bros will likely keep this exclusive to theaters for a little longer than they usually do. Adjusting our estimate.

Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)

Starring Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Eugene Hansen, Emma Myers, Jennifer Coolidge

Theatrical Release Date: April 4, 2025

Tracking: NEON has been keeping their titles in theaters for at least a month lately, which seems like the ceiling for this film. We wouldn’t be surprised if they dropped it earlier than that.
