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: March 8, 2024

Tracking: The film launched and is available to stream for Angel Guild investors. It hasn’t yet launched on digital, but it should be within the next week or two.

Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($19.99)

VOD/Digital Estimate: Late June/Early July 2024


Theatrical Release Date: May 3, 2024

Tracking: A Janus Films release, which means a likely 90-day theatrical window. Look for this one to hit the Criterion Channel and digital later in the summer.

Theatrical Release Date: May 10, 2024

Tracking: A 7/9 VOD/Digital release date is set.

VOD/Digital Estimate: Mid/Late July 2024


Theatrical Release Date: June 7, 2024
