David Fincher’s ‘Cliff Booth’ Movie: IMAX Debut Before Netflix Release
Netflix has unveiled exciting news for fans of Quentin Tarantino’s cinematic universe: David Fincher’s upcoming film, based on the character Cliff Booth from “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” will hit IMAX screens for a two-week exclusive run starting November 23. Subsequently, the movie will make its way to Netflix, debuting on December 23, filling the spot originally held by another highly anticipated project, “Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew.”

Greta Gerwig’s “Narnia” adaptation has shifted its release to February 12, 2027, with a broader theatrical rollout and a later Netflix debut slated for April 2, 2027. This adjustment aims to create a more extensive promotional window for the film, indicating a strategic shift in Netflix’s release approach.
Netflix’s Theatrical Strategy and Release Details
Despite the temporary shift to IMAX screenings, insiders maintain that there is no significant change in Netflix’s overall strategy towards theatrical releases. The platform continues to explore event-style releases as it secures more high-profile titles. However, whether “Cliff Booth” will extend beyond the initial two-week IMAX window on other traditional screens remains uncertain.
Originally just one of the potential titles tossed around, “The Adventures of Cliff Booth” caught the public’s attention with a teaser released during the Super Bowl. Audiences got glimpses of Brad Pitt as Cliff Booth in various engaging scenarios, including lounging at a bar, exploring movie sets, and racing a derby car.
From Tarantino to Fincher: A Continuation of Cliff Booth’s Story
The upcoming film, penned by Tarantino but directed by Fincher, continues the story of Brad Pitt’s character, Cliff Booth, from the 2019 hit “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” In an intriguing twist from its predecessor—which grossed nearly $400 million worldwide—the narrative now shifts to 1977, depicting a markedly different Hollywood landscape. Notably, Leonardo DiCaprio’s character, Rick Dalton, does not appear to return in this sequel.
The ensemble cast for Fincher’s film promises compelling performances, featuring Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Peter Weller. Brad Pitt is not only reprising his role but also taking a seat as a producer alongside Ceán Chaffin.
This strategic release plan, combining an initial theatrical engagement with a subsequent streaming release, highlights an evolving landscape where streaming giants like Netflix continue to blur the lines between traditional cinema and digital entertainment platforms.
