When to Stream’s Weekly Tracking Report – 7/31/26

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.

We are a digital retail affiliate, and do receive a very small commission for any purchases made from this website. If you’d like to support our work, and you’re looking to buy through any of our digital partners, we’d appreciate it if you’d click through.

Here are the film titles (in order of theatrical release) we are currently tracking:


ROSE OF NEVADA

Theatrical Release Date: June 19, 2026

Tracking: The latest from upstart distributor 1-2 Special should maintain their consistent 60-day theatrical window strategy. Look for a digital release in August.

Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($9.99)

VOD/Digital Estimate: Mid August 2026


TOY STORY 5

Theatrical Release Date: June 19, 2026

Tracking: Disney has been the most consistent with their long theatrical windows, and this Pixar sequel should be no exception. We’re estimating it won’t hit PVOD until later this summer.

Pre-Order Availability: No

PVOD Estimate: Mid / Late August 2026


COUTURE

Theatrical Release Date: June 26, 2026

Tracking: This Vertical release should stay theatrical exclusive for at least 4 weeks, with a digital release date later this summer.

Pre-Order Availability: No

VOD/Digital Estimate: Early August 2026


THE INVITE

Theatrical Release Date: June 26, 2026

Tracking: A24 keeps this going in theaters, where it’s doing pretty well. We’re sticking with our estimate for now.

Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)

PVOD Estimate: Early / Mid August 2026


JACKASS: BEST AND LAST

Pre-Order Availability: No

PVOD Estimate: Mid August 2026


MOANA

Theatrical Release Date: July 10, 2026

Tracking: Disney has not budged from its 60-day theatrical window, and there’s no reason to think they switch it up for this ‘live-action’ remake, even with sub-par box-office.

Pre-Order Availability: No

PVOD Estimate: Early September 2026


NIGHT NURSE

Theatrical Release Date: July 10, 2026

Tracking: This Independent Film Company release should stay theatrical-exclusive for about 3 – 4 weeks before it hits digital. Estimating accordingly.

VOD/Digital Estimate: Early August 2026


THE ODYSSEY

Theatrical Release Date: July 17, 2026

Tracking: Christopher Nolan’s last film, the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer, stayed theatrical exclusive for exactly 4 months (Theatrical premiere date: 7/21/23; PVOD premiere date 11/21/23). Using that as a comp, we’re estimating the director’s latest epic will also hit digital in mid-November.

Pre-Order Availability: No

PVOD Estimate: Mid November 2026


HADESTOWN: THE MUSICAL

Theatrical Release Date: July 24, 2026

Tracking: Bleecker Street took this wide right away, and it’s a hit! The limited theatrical engagement has been extended, but we’re still holding on our original estimate.

Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)

VOD/Digital Estimate: Late August / Early September 2026

VOD/Digital Estimate: Mid / Late August 2026


MOTOR CITY

Theatrical Release Date: July 24, 2026

Tracking: Not many takers at the box-office, though not exactly a disaster. We’re pushing up our estimate a bit.

VOD/Digital Estimate: Late August 2026

Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($19.99)

SVOD/VOD/Digital Estimate: Late August 2026


SHEEP IN THE BOX

Theatrical Release Date: July 24, 2026

Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($14.99)

VOD/Digital Estimate: Early / Mid September 2026


ABOVE & BELOW

VOD/Digital Estimate: Late August 2026


I WANT YOUR SEX

Theatrical Release Date: July 31, 2026

Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)

VOD/Digital Estimate: Early September 2026


THE SAMURAI AND THE PRISONER

VOD/Digital Estimate: Late September / Early October 2026


SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY

Theatrical Release Date: July 31, 2026

Tracking: The last Spider-Man film received a healthy 3-month window (Theatrical date: 12/17/21; Digital Date: 3/15/22). We’ll see if Sony sticks to that strategy, though we think a 60-day window seems more plausible these days. We’ll see!
