Netflix’s new Cliff Booth movie starring Brad Pitt will get the big-screen treatment after all. The streamer said Wednesday that The Adventures of Cliff Booth will bow in Imax theaters on November 25 for two weeks before making its way to Netflix on December 23. The pic is directed by David Fincher from a script by Quentin Tarantino.
The film takes the spot of Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew, from Greta Gerwig, which recently moved from Thanksgiving to February 2027.
Pitt returns to his Academy Award-winning role as Cliff Booth, only this time it’s 1977 and it’s a very different Hollywood. The film also stars Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Peter Weller.
Pitt and Ceán Chaffin are producing.
Buzz for The Adventures of Cliff Booth has been building since it was announced in 2024 that Pitt and Fincher were teaming on the project that Tarantino originally wanted to direct. Once Tarantino gave his blessing for Fincher to come aboard, Netflix was the obvious stop given the director’s exclusive deal there. After Netflix had recently announced that the Narnia movie would be moving to 2027, there were rumors of a film potentially filling that spot, and the studio confirmed Wednesday that the Cliff Booth pic would indeed get that big-screen treatment.
There was also chatter recently about the potential of the film premiering at one of the big fall festivals specifically Venice but this new release date may make that rumor less likely given how far the release is from the fall festival circuit.
Pitt won an Oscar for playing the character in Tarantino’s 2019 pic Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which also starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Margot Robbie.
