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:

Pre-Order Availability: No

PVOD Estimate: Mid/Late May 2025


Theatrical Release Date: March 21, 2025

The Ballad of Wallis Island
Starring Tom Basden, Tim Key, Carey Mulligan, Akemnji Ndifornyen, Sian Clifford
