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

Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: November/December 2024
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. Still no pre-order, they’re taking their time.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Late October/Early November 2024
Theatrical Release Date: August 30, 2024
Tracking: This Cohen Media doc expands slowly in the coming weeks, so look for a digital release later in the fall.

Theatrical Release Date: September 6, 2024
Theatrical Release Date: September 13, 2024
