Welcome to When To Stream’s Weekly Tracking Report. Every Friday, we 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.

PVOD Estimate: Late June 2026
Theatrical Release Date: May 8, 2026

Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: Mid / Late June 2026


Theatrical Release Date: May 8, 2026

Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: Mid / Late June 2026


Theatrical Release Date: May 15, 2026
