Del Toro’s Frankenstein Steps Up Final Push With Creature Trailer, BTS Miniatures and Halloween IMAX Q&A

Netflix is sticking to a limited theatrical strategy geared toward awards consideration.

Overview

  • Netflix released a second, Creature-focused trailer this week that spotlights Jacob Elordi’s voice and transformation.
  • Guillermo del Toro shared new behind-the-scenes photos on X showcasing extensive practical miniatures and on-set craftsmanship.
  • An IMAX screening with a Q&A at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles is scheduled for October 31.
  • The film opens in select theaters on October 17 before a global Netflix streaming debut on November 7.
  • After premiering at Venice and playing Telluride and TIFF, where it was People’s Choice runner-up, the film faces fan frustration over the limited run as Elordi voices hope for a longer big-screen play.
