Cliff Booth is heading to IMAX.
Netflix revealed it will give its Cliff Booth movie a two-week IMAX run globally starting Nov. 25, the day before Thanksgiving. It will then arrive on the streaming service Dec. 23.
David Fincher directs the movie from a script from Quentin Tarantino as a continuation of Brad Pitt’s Oscar-winning Once Upon a Time in Hollywood stuntman character.
Though the film has been referred to as The Adventures of Cliff Booth, it does not yet have an official title. It takes over the theatrical spot previously held by Greta Gerwig’s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew, which in a first for Netflix, will get a traditional theatrical run with a full, 49 day window in theaters when it arrives in February. The streamer stresses that it is not changing its strategy of making movies for its service, despite Narnia.
Key filmmakers have gotten short runs in theaters before, such as Rian Johnson’s Knives Out films and awards hopefuls. Kpop Demon Hunters, the most watched Netflix movie of all time, got a wide release for the sing-along version version of the movie, but only for a few days after it has already been on the service.
More to come.
