IndieWire • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Netflix announced that David Fincher’s spinoff film starring Brad Pitt as Cliff Booth will open in IMAX for a two-week run starting November 23, before premiering on Netflix on December 23.
- The film takes over the release slot previously held by Greta Gerwig’s “Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew,” which has been pushed to 2027 with a wider and longer theatrical release prior to its Netflix debut.
- The untitled movie, written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Fincher, revisits Pitt’s Oscar-winning character in 1977 Hollywood and features a supporting cast including Elizabeth Debicki and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.
- This marks a continuation of Netflix’s strategy to occasionally pursue event theatrical releases for high-profile titles, though it remains unclear if the film will have an extended theatrical run beyond the initial IMAX engagement.
- Brad Pitt is also producing the film alongside Ceán Chaffin, while Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Rick Dalton is not expected to return.
