As others have said, I don't think what you want exists. The movie studios go to extensive lengths to ensure nobody cuts into their physical media business, and whatever is leftover is gobbled up pretty readily by the big carriers - Comcast's "On Demand," etc. You're not going to find any streaming services that can equal Best Buy or Xfinity, because that's the way to the studios want it. The reason why you have all the indie content on Netflix is because they aren't from the big studios, they aren't subject to that lockdown. To get current big releases, you need to go to the rental model - iTunes, Vudu, Amazon, etc. - and pay the $5-$10 per.
I've been a Netflix customer since Netflix first started (10+ years) and I do both the streaming service and the physical rental service. It's the only way to get most of the content. :D I also have an Amazon Prime membership for the shipping benefits, and that gives me access to their streaming library as well. It's imperfect, but a good all-around solution. At an annual cost of about $300, it's cheaper than a couple months of premium cable, and I get LOTS of free shipping thrown in. I'm patient, I don't care if I see Gravity today, tomorrow, or next year. :D
