Netflix’s Brad Pitt film “The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth” will not be shown on IMAX screens at Regal and Cinemark, according to multiple outlets. The decision adds friction to Netflix’s broader effort to expand theatrical releases alongside streaming.
All three reports point to an IMAX availability plan that is limited or exclusive, with Deadline and IndieWire both describing an exclusive IMAX window beginning around Thanksgiving. Variety and Deadline also say sources indicate Cinemark and Regal are not accepting the booking for IMAX.
While the core fact is shared—Regal and Cinemark will not run the IMAX engagement—outlets vary slightly in what they emphasize. Variety frames the issue as part of Netflix’s big-screen push and highlights the booking declines. Deadline focuses on the exhibiters and the timing of the release, while IndieWire adds that the film’s IMAX theatrical window begins on Thanksgiving and is tied to AMC’s wider footprint.
Overall, the coverage largely agrees on which theater chains are affected and that an IMAX exclusivity arrangement shapes where the film can play.
