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 larger indie distributor releases. There are titles not here whose streaming release dates we will report when available.

Hamnet is from Focus Features, do you think it will still come out on VOD this year?
If it does, it would be right at the end of the year. Last year, Conclave got a 31-day window, which seems like an appropriate comp for Hamnet.
Do you mean a potential 31-day window from limited USA-release (26 Nov), or from wide USA (12 Dec)?
Conclave opened wide, so you’re right, it’s not quite apples-to-apples. The 18-day window ‘clock’ usually starts when the film expands wide. We haven’t seen the Hamnet rollout schedule, but we’re hearing reports it’ll go wide in mid-January. In that case…it might not hit PVOD until late January or early February. All speculation, but that’s what we do!
missing films for next week:
king ivory (roadside/saban) sirat (neon), and trap house (aura entertainment)
also, a bonus film that opened last week that i forgot to mention: self-help (cineverse)
also, i know i’m a bit late to this, but LOVE the new redesign y’all, keep cooking
