Boulevard received positive reviews from critics and was looking for theatrical distribution at the time of Williams' passing.
Following Williams' death, Boulevard may get picked up for distribution in the coming months.
Due out later this year, the celebrated star appears in Merry Friggin' Christmas alongside Lauren Graham, Candice Bergen, and Joel McHale, among others.
The holiday flick follows a funny family at Christmas time and is expected to hit theaters in November.
In December, Williams will return to the big screen in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, with Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, and Rebel Wilson, among others.
The trailer for the latest installment in the Night at the Museum franchise was released just two weeks ago.
Williams had also lent his legendary talents to the upcoming Absolutely Anything.
Due out in 2015, the sci-fi flick features the Oscar winner voicing the character of Dennis the talking dog, alongside contributions from Simon Pegg, Kate Beckinsale, and Monty Python's Terry Gilliam and John Cleese, among others.
One hyped Williams project that is unlikely to see the light of day is the previously scheduled Mrs. Doubtfire sequel. Earlier this year, news broke that Fox 2000 was developing a follow-up to the beloved 1993 comedy, with Williams attached to reprise his role of Daniel Hillard.
According to Variety, Mrs. Doubtfire 2 will likely be scrapped following Williams' passing.

Last month it was reported that Williams had checked into a rehab centre in Minnesota to "fine-tune and focus on his continued commitment to his sobriety".
