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 and is 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 Netflix films have gotten short runs in theaters before, such as Rian Johnson’s Knives Out movies 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 last year, but only for a few days, and only after it had already been on the service for weeks.
As for the Cliff Booth movie, like all things involving Tarantino, it has been closely guarded. Netflix aired a brief teaser during the Super Bowl, which was not released online afterwards. “I don’t possess many talents, but I know better than to get in the way of a good story,” Booth said in the teaser.
Sony released Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in 2019, with it taking place in an alternate history 1969, with Pitt playing the driver and stuntman to faded actor Rick Dalton, played by Leonardo DiCaprio.
The existence of a sequel, much less once directed by Fincher and made at Netflix, was a shock when first announced on April Fool’s Day in 2025. (It was not a hoax.)
