Fincher‑Directed Tarantino Sequel Opens in IMAX Before Netflix Release

A two‑week exclusive IMAX engagement has led major chains to reject the booking, highlighting disputes over very short theatrical windows.

Overview

  • The Further Mis‑Adventures of Cliff Booth, which opens in IMAX on Nov. 25 and streams on Netflix on Dec. 23, has new trailers and posters and IMAX tickets are now on sale.
  • Quentin Tarantino wrote the screenplay, David Fincher directed, and Brad Pitt returns as Cliff Booth, with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross confirmed to compose the score.
  • Cinemark and Regal have declined to allocate their IMAX auditoriums for the two‑week run, with Cinemark CEO Sean Gamble saying the short window would set an unhelpful precedent for the theatrical business.
  • AMC and some independent circuits will screen the film, concentrating a limited IMAX footprint during the Thanksgiving period and narrowing where audiences can see the title on the big screen.
  • Industry watchers will be watching box office performance and chain responses, since the dispute could shape future streamer release windows and how premium IMAX screens are scheduled for tentpole films.
