Rumored date:
GODZILLA MINUS ONE (Toho)

Several regions in earlier timezones now have the film, but we've yet to find hard confirmation on the US. Keeping our eyes peeled.
Disney has announced its “100 Years of Disney” event will be held on October 16, 2023, which may make it a likely Disney+ debut date for ELEMENTAL and/or INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY.

HBO's schedule shows the 1999 TV movie INTRODUCING DOROTHY DANDRIDGE in the "new movie slot" on Saturday, March 9. In keeping with HBO's recent pattern of using their old movies as a disguise, there's a good chance this is actually WONKA. If so, the movie will hit Max that week.
If you'll let me to get a bit more opinionated than usual, this is how it should've been from the beginning of streaming. OTT + linear channels. The infamous "Netflix void" that streaming originals seem to disappear into could've been avoided by "airing" them in regular rotation.
Disney+ is planning to introduce channels onto its service.
They will function the same as old-school TV channels with different channels for different genres like Marvel & Star Wars.

Shorts, continued:

THE WONDERFUL STORY OF HENRY SUGAR - Netflix
No films in the Best Animated Short Film category are available to stream or have an expected destination, apart from the eventual theatrical/PVOD Oscar Shorts compilation.
Hi all. Starting tomorrow, I'll be on vacation in Canada for a little over two weeks. I've got some automatic posts ready and I'll try to keep up with confirmations when I can, but things may be fairly quiet on this account for a little bit otherwise.
HBO’s linear schedule shows a blank space in the “new movie slot” on Saturday, March 2nd. At just over two hours, it’s a perfect fit for AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM, which suggests the film will debut on Max on March 1st.
What's coming to streaming in February, a thread:
(This is broken up into larger releases, i.e. those that had a wide or notable theatrical release, and smaller releases, i.e. those that never went wide and/or were simultaneously on VOD. This is not a quality judgment.)
Confirmed date (added platform):
AMERICAN FICTION (Amazon MGM Studios)
Currently available on: MGM+
New platform: Prime Video
Arrival date: May 14, 2024
Overall, a fairly spread-out streaming field, with fewer films already available on streamers than normal in recent years. Netflix and Hulu have the largest presence, while Peacock is notably carrying two leading contenders for awards.
A recap of March's notable theatrical releases + where they're going (1/5)
ACCIDENTAL TEXAN - Hulu, July
THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MAGICAL NEGROES - Peacock, May & Prime Video, September
THE ANIMAL KINGDOM - Hulu, August
ARTHUR THE KING - Starz, September
A recap of December's notable theatrical releases + where they're going (1/5)
ALL OF US STRANGERS - Hulu & Hulu on Disney+, March
AMERICAN FICTION - MGM+, February-March & Prime Video, May-June
ANIMAL - Netflix, January-February
ANSELM - The Criterion Channel, March
Rumored date:
THEATER CAMP (Searchlight)
Platform: Hulu
Arrival date (unconfirmed): September 13, 2023
*Based on the film's Canadian Disney+ debut date of September 14.
LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL (IFC Films)
Platform: AMC+, Hulu, Shudder
Arrival date (confirmed): April 19, 2024 (AMC+, Shudder)
Arrival estimate: March 2025 (Hulu)
While Max has yet to formally confirm any date for DUNE: PART TWO, the HBO network has another suspicious scheduling choice — putting the 2002 HBO film PATH TO WAR in the Saturday premiere slot on June 1, with a DUNE-shaped 2:48 runtime.
With dates confirmed for ELEMENTAL and HAUNTED MANSION, process of elimination indicates that, should we see any new Disney title hit Disney+ during the Disney100 celebration on October 16, it will be INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY.
December 1 is already one of the most stacked dates I've seen in the history of this account, and we don't even have full lists for Max, Netflix, or Prime Video yet.
To wit, so far we have:
AMC+/Shudder: IT'S A WONDERFUL KNIFE
Disney+: INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY

What's coming to streaming in April, a thread:
(This is broken up into larger releases, i.e. those that had a wide or notable theatrical release, and smaller releases, i.e. those that never went wide and/or were simultaneously on VOD. This is not a quality judgment.)
Update: The Animated Short Film nominee PACHYDERME is available on YouTube (official account: STAFF PICK) and the Live-Action Short Film nominee NINETY-FIVE SENSES is available on Small Screenings for a limited time:
Confirmed date:
THE FALL GUY (Universal)
Platform: Peacock
Arrival date: August 30, 2024
The Peacock release will include the film’s Extended Cut, similar to JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION and M3GAN.
HBO’s linear schedule shows a 2 hour, 22 minute blank space in the usual “new movie slot” on Saturday, February 17. It’d be a bit earlier than normal, but that slot closely fits the runtime for WB’s THE COLOR PURPLE, which would imply a Max debut earlier in the week. Stay tuned.
MEAN GIRLS (Paramount)
Platform: Paramount+
Arrival estimate: February 26, 2024
This is the first Paramount film released following the end of Paramount's longstanding deal with MGM, meaning it won't release on MGM+ or Prime Video.
While IFC Films’ THE TASTE OF THINGS isn’t technically streaming on the Prime Video streaming service, it is currently available to purchase *for free* on Amazon Prime Video.
