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.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: December 2024
Theatrical Release Date: October 11, 2024
Tracking: An 11/26 PVOD release date is expected.
Theatrical Release Date: October 18, 2024
Tracking: NEON will likely play the long game here. The film did pretty well in its wide release. 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
Theatrical Release Date: October 18, 2024
Tracking: A 12/3 VOD/Digital release date is set.
Theatrical Release Date: October 25, 2024
Tracking: Sony’s 2024 releases have been consistently keeping a 45-day theatrical exclusive window. We’re estimating the same here.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Mid/Late December 2024
Theatrical Release Date: October 25, 2024
Tracking: Still no sign of a digital release for this Focus Features title. We’ve adjusted our estimate to reflect an 18-day window after the film’s wide expansion (which was last Friday). It could pop up unexpectedly next week, but we imagine the studio will wait to launch it on PVOD right before the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: November 26, 2024
Theatrical Release Date: October 25, 2024
Theatrical Release Date: November 1, 2024
Tracking: Samuel Goldwyn Films took this wide quickly, we’re estimating they’ll pivot to digital by late the end of the month.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Late November 2024
Theatrical Release Date: November 1, 2024
Tracking: Sony has this priced for PVOD, and the film’s dismal box-office has us thinking they’ll release it on digital before Thanksgiving. Adjusting our estimate accordingly.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Late November 2024
Theatrical Release Date: November 1, 2024
Tracking: Warner Bros will reportedly take this one directly to Max over the Christmas holidays. Will there be a digital release first? We’ve heard some rumblings, but nothing concrete.
Pre-Order Availability: No
SVOD Estimate: Mid/Late December 2024 (Max)
Theatrical Release Date: November 1, 2024
Tracking: Searchlight takes this wide this weekend, expanding it to nearly 1200 theaters. Box-office performance should give us a clearer picture of a possible digital release date. Holding on our estimate for now.
Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: January 2025
Theatrical Release Date: November 8, 2024
Tracking: Lionsgate is getting this holiday comedy to theaters early, likely to get in on PVOD during the prime December Christmas corridor.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Early December 2024
Theatrical Release Date: November 8, 2024
Tracking: MUBI takes this wide this weekend. They’ve been shrinking their windows a bit, so we’re estimating it will hit digital and their streaming service in time for Christmas.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/SVOD Estimate: Mid/Late December 2024
Theatrical Release Date: November 8, 2024
Tracking: This IFC Films is already losing most of its screens this weekend. We imagine a digital release date announcement should be coming in the next week or two.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Early December 2024
Theatrical Release Date: November 8, 2024
Tracking: Vertical titles tend to have 2-3 week windows, which sounds about right for this sci-fi actioner.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
VOD/Digital Estimate: Late November 2024
Theatrical Release Date: November 8, 2024
Tracking: A24 took this wide right away, and their PVOD windows are usually 30-40 days. Estimating accordingly.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Early/Mid December 2024
Theatrical Release Date: November 8, 2024
Tracking: This Roadside Attractions loses almost half its theaters this weekend, look for it to hit digital before Christmas.

VOD/Digital Estimate: Mid/Late December 2024
Theatrical Release Date: November 8, 2024
Tracking: Ketchup Entertainment titles have been hitting digital after about 25 days in theaters, so that’s our estimate here.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Early December 2024
Theatrical Release Date: November 15, 2024
Tracking: This is very likely to be a straight-to-Prime Video title, and we’re estimating it’ll definitely arrive there before Christmas.
Pre-Order Availability: No
SVOD Estimate: Mid December 2024 (Prime Video)
Theatrical Release Date: November 15, 2024
Tracking: Sideshow Pictures will slowly expand this throughout awards season, with a digital release not likely until early next year.
