Overview
- Paramount’s release is now playing exclusively in cinemas, including IMAX, Dolby Cinema and 4DX showings, after an earlier U.K. bow this week.
- Wright says Stephen King reviewed and approved the adaptation’s revised conclusion, which diverges from the novel’s finale.
- Early critiques highlight propulsive action, slick world-building and Glen Powell’s star turn, while pointing to tonal unevenness, a slower second half and a contentious ending.
- Performances from Josh Brolin, Colman Domingo and Michael Cera draw notice, though several reviews say supporting characters feel underdeveloped.
- The runtime is 133 minutes, with digital purchase expected in mid-December and a Paramount+ streaming debut projected for January 2026.
