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: April 18, 2025
Tracking: This Janus/Sideshow title is pretty much out of theaters, so we’re hoping a digital date is announced very soon.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Late June 2025
Theatrical Release Date: May 2, 2025
Tracking: A 60-day theatrical exclusive window is almost assured for this Marvel title, putting its digital date right around the 4th of July holiday.
Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: Early July 2025
Theatrical Release Date: May 9, 2025
Tracking: Janus Films/Sideshow will likely stick to their 60-day window, with a digital release date in mid-summer.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Early/Mid July 2025
Theatrical Release Date: May 9, 2025
Tracking: A 6/17 PVOD release date is expected.
Theatrical Release Date: May 9, 2025

Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Late June/Early July 2025
Theatrical Release Date: May 16, 2025
Tracking: A rare Magnolia title that didn’t get a simultaneous theatrical/VOD release. Look for a digital launch this month.
Pre-Order Availability: No
VOD/Digital Estimate: Mid/Late June 2025
Theatrical Release Date: May 23, 2025
Tracking: Paramount kept the last M:I in theaters exclusively for 90 days, we’d be surprised if they did it again. But who knows what kind of deal Cruise has. For now, we’re estimating 60 - 75 days.

PVOD Estimate: Late June/Early July 2025

Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: Early July 2025
Theatrical Release Date: May 30, 2025
Tracking: Sony has been sticking to a 45-day window for their marquee titles, and that’s where we think this will end up.
Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($24.99)
PVOD Estimate: Mid July 2025
Theatrical Release Date: May 30, 2025
Tracking: Focus Features adds a few more theaters this weekend, we’ll see if the PVOD date winds up being this month, or very early next month. Still not on pre-order.
Pre-Order Availability: No
PVOD Estimate: Late June/Early July 2025

PVOD Estimate: Late June 2025
Theatrical Release Date: June 6, 2025
Tracking: Lionsgate hopes to have its first big hit in a while, so we’re estimating a slower than usual pivot to digital.

PVOD Estimate: Mid/Late July 2025
Theatrical Release Date: June 6, 2025

PVOD Estimate: Mid/Late July 2025
Theatrical Release Date: June 6, 2025

Pre-Order Availability: Yes ($19.99)
PVOD Estimate: Late June 2025
Theatrical Release Date: June 13, 2025
