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
Tracking: Still crickets on a digital release. At this point it seems clear A24 will try to re-launch this in theaters for an awards push.

Theatrical Release Date: October 11, 2024
Tracking: A strong box-office run for this drama. We’re estimating a digital release around Thanksgiving. Pre-order at PVOD price-point is available now.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Late November 2024
Theatrical Release Date: October 18, 2024
Tracking: NEON will likely play the long game here. The film goes wide this weekend, hitting over 1000 theaters. We’re estimating it’ll hit digital before the end of the year.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($19.99)
PVOD Estimate: Mid/Late December 2024

Tracking: So here’s the thing…we haven’t seen any indication Focus is set to release this on PVOD next week. We’re not quite ready to adjust our estimate, but we’re usually pretty certain at this point. The studio is adding almost 500 additional theaters this weekend, which is another indication they might let these cardinals cook.
Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: November 12, 2024
Theatrical Release Date: October 25, 2024

Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Early December 2024
Theatrical Release Date: November 1, 2024
Tracking: Sony has this priced for PVOD, but we’re still estimating at least a 45 day window. Could the film’s box-office whiff push them to go sooner? Possibly, but we’re holding on our estimate for now.
