Originally slated for a Netflix-exclusive release, "The Adventures of Cliff Booth" — the highly anticipated sequel/spinoff to Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," with Tarantino returning to write and David Fincher taking the directorial reins — will now hit IMAX theaters for an exclusive two-week run, Netflix announced today.
The current distribution plan sees the film debuting in IMAX cinemas for two weeks starting November 25, before making its streaming premiere on Netflix on December 23. This also marks a several-month delay from its initial target of a summer release this year.
