It isn’t a surprise to anyone that Netflix is trying to make a push into cinema releases. Their attempts to purchase Warner Bros and the release of KPop Demon Hunters into theaters last year show how important releasing Netflix originals on the big screen can be. So it feels very appropriate that Netflix is reportedly giving Cliff Booth, the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood spinoff film starring Brad Pitt, a full theatrical release later this year.
None of this has been fully confirmed yet, but there is enough evidence mounting that Netflix will be giving Cliff Booth a wide theatrical release in September or October this year. For those who need reminding, Cliff Booth is the Brad Pitt-led spinoff/sequel to Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The new movie will follow Brad Pitt’s stuntman character in a script that was written by Tarantino and directed by David Fincher.
The release date for Cliff Booth has always been a thing of mystery, as has every other detail about the movie. We don’t know much about the plot or even the official title yet (it has changed at least once since the movie was announced), but the latest report about the movie seems to be that the release date has shifted to Fall 2026 instead of summer. On top of giving the movie a later debut, Netflix also seems to be eyeing a full theatrical release. Which makes sense, considering the budget is reported to be around $200 million, and it feels unlikely that Brad Pitt would want to star in a straight-to-streaming film.
As spring approaches, we expect a lot of these details to become public in the coming weeks or months, so hopefully we won’t have to wait too long to see Brad Pitt leading a Netflix-produced film. Chances are, we’ll see Cliff Booth on the big screen before it manages to reach the streamer.
