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:
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
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
Theatrical Release Date: July 24, 2026
Tracking: This NEON release looks to expand slowly over the next few weeks, with a digital release date dependent on box-office performance. We’re estimating a late summer VOD launch.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($14.99)
VOD/Digital Estimate: Early / Mid September 2026
Theatrical Release Date: July 29, 2026
Tracking: An 8/25 VOD/Digital release date is set.
Theatrical Release Date: July 31, 2026
Tracking: This Janus Films release looks to stay theatrical exclusive for about two month as it slowly rolls out in theaters. We’re estimating a digital release date in early Fall.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Late September / Early October 2026
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!
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($29.99)
PVOD Estimate: Early October 2026
Theatrical Release Date: August 7, 2026
Tracking: Roadside Attractions have been keeping their titles theatrical exclusive for 5-6 weekends lately, so we’re thinking this doc hits digital later next month.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Mid / Late September 2026
Theatrical Release Date: August 7, 2026
Tracking: This release from Eli Roth’s The Horror Section has pretty much vanished from theaters, so we’re expecting a digital release date announcement should be coming soon.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Early / Mid September 2026
Theatrical Release Date: August 7, 2026
Tracking: Magnolia rolls this out slowly over the next few weeks, with a digital date not expected until early Fall.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($14.99)
VOD/Digital Estimate: Early October 2026
Theatrical Release Date: August 7, 2026
Tracking: With Universal Pictures’ new 30-day window mandate (which will shift to 45-days in 2027), this romantic comedy should hit PVOD early next month.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Early September 2026
Theatrical Release Date: August 7, 2026
Tracking: This Searchlight Pictures release should stick to the studio’s 7-week theatrical window, putting it on digital towards the end of September.
Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: Late September 2026
TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA
Theatrical Release Date: August 7, 2026
Tracking: MUBI will be in no hurry to get this to its streaming platform (or VOD), as it will make a perfect early October release for the streamer.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($19.99)
SVOD/Digital Estimate: Early October 2026
Theatrical Release Date: August 7, 2026
Tracking: A24 expands this nationwide this weekend. We’re estimating a digital release about a month from this expansion. Now available for pre-order.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Mid/Late September 2026
Theatrical Release Date: August 14, 2026
Tracking: This well-reviewed dino thriller should get at least 5-6 weekends of theatrical exclusivity by Warner Bros. Look for it to hit PVOD later next month.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Late September 2026
Theatrical Release Date: August 14, 2026
Tracking: This less bloody (we assume) dino adventure will likely adhere to Paramount’s new 45-day window mandate. That would put it on digital towards the end of September.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Late September 2026
Theatrical Release Date: August 14, 2026
Tracking: Black Bear Pictures’ releases have received 3-4 theatrical windows, so we’re estimating this one should hit VOD by the middle of next month. Now available for pre-order.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
VOD/Digital Estimate: Mid September 2026
Theatrical Release Date: August 14, 2026
Tracking: This Focus Features release should make a quick pivot to PVOD, with a 17-day theatrical window likely.
Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: Early September 2026
Theatrical Release Date: August 14, 2026
Tracking: NEON took this semi wide (~500 theaters) last weekend, and it didn’t break out significantly at the box-office, so we think it’ll arrive on digital early next month.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($19.99)
VOD/Digital Estimate: Early September 2026
Theatrical Release Date: August 21, 2026
Tracking: This Focus Features release is getting a scaled-back theatrical release and should hit PVOD after 17 days in theaters.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($19.99)
PVOD Estimate: Early September 2026
Theatrical Release Date: August 21, 2026
Tracking: This Sony Pictures title should start big and fall quickly at the box-office. We’re estimating the studio will give this one at least a 30-day theatrical window.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Late September 2026
Theatrical Release Date: August 21, 2026
Tracking: This NEON release opens in NY & LA this weekend, expanding nationwide next weekend. Look for a digital release in early September.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($14.99)
VOD/Digital Estimate: Early September 2026
Theatrical Release Date: August 21, 2026
Tracking: Vertical looks to tap in to the underserved kids market, though we’d be surprised if there are many takers. Still…it should be about 30 day before it hits digital.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Late September 2026
Theatrical Release Date: August 21, 2026
Tracking: Lionsgate pretty much sat-out the summer, though they were still basking in their Michael cash, so we’ll shed no tears for them. This Stathem actioner should deliver some solid late-summer business before it hits PVOD early next month.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Early September 2026
Theatrical Release Date: August 21, 2026
Tracking: Black Bear Pictures gamely tries to get audiences to see a comedy in theaters, and we fear it’s a tough road ahead for them. We’re estimating a digital release after about four weekends in theaters.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
VOD/Digital Estimate: Mid/Late September 2026
Next week we’ll begin tracking:
