Brad Pitt as Cliff Booth in 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.' Columbia Pictures / courtesy Everett Collection Cliff Booth is heading to IMAX.
Netflix revealed it will give its Cliff Booth movie a two-week IMAX run globally starting Nov. 25, the day before Thanksgiving. It will then arrive on the streaming service Dec. 23.

It takes over the theatrical spot previously held by Greta Gerwig’s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew, which in a first for Netflix, will get a traditional theatrical run with a full, 49 day window in theaters when it arrives in February.

Key Netflix films have gotten short runs in theaters before, such as Rian Johnson’s Knives Out movies and awards hopefuls.

As for the Cliff Booth movie, like all things involving Tarantino, it has been closely guarded. Netflix aired a brief teaser during the Super Bowl, which was not released online afterwards. “I don’t possess many talents, but I know better than to get in the way of a good story,” Booth said in the teaser.
Sony released Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in 2019, with it taking place in an alternate history 1969, with Pitt playing the driver and stuntman to faded actor Rick Dalton, played by Leonardo DiCaprio.
