Overview
- Netflix announced a two-week exclusive IMAX engagement for the untitled Cliff Booth film beginning November 25, 2026, with a global streaming debut on Netflix on December 23, 2026.
- David Fincher will direct from a Quentin Tarantino script with Brad Pitt returning as Cliff Booth and a confirmed principal cast that includes Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Peter Weller.
- The film occupies the IMAX/Thanksgiving slot formerly held by Greta Gerwig’s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew, which has been delayed into early 2027 and will receive a traditional 49-day theatrical window.
- Netflix says the limited IMAX run does not signal a permanent shift away from its streaming-first strategy and is coordinating the engagement with exhibitors, including major chains such as AMC.
- The project has been tightly controlled publicity-wise, including a Super Bowl teaser that was not released online, and the event run could sharpen Netflix’s awards and theatrical playbook for select high‑profile films.
