Quentin Tarantino's Next Movie Officially Removed From 43% of Theaters

Quentin Tarantino might have decided that ten movies would be enough for his directorial career, but that doesn’t mean he’s finished telling stories. And while the filmmaker’s next screenplay is being brought to life by another of Hollywood’s most celebrated directors, the resulting movie has become one of Netflix’s biggest theatrical experiments yet. Unfortunately, getting audiences into theaters is proving rather more complicated than anybody might have hoped. Particularly when two of America’s biggest cinema chains aren’t interested in playing along.

Netflix’s upcoming The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth has officially lost access to approximately 43% of the IMAX screens operated by America’s three largest theater chains, with Regal and Cinemark declining to screen the movie. According to reports, the David Fincher-directed sequel will now rely primarily on AMC for its November 25 theatrical release, with approximately 200 domestic IMAX screens and around 550 screens worldwide.

The decision comes as Netflix attempts to give the movie a two-week exclusive IMAX engagement before its streaming debut on December 23. However, the short theatrical window has proved a sticking point for Regal and Cinemark, which are instead allocating premium screens to competing holiday releases, including The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.

The first film not in the English language to win Best Picture, in the Academy’s
92-year history to that point.
It took four Oscars in one night: Picture, Director, Original Screenplay and International
Feature.
It won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 2019 by a unanimous jury vote, the first Korean film
to do so.
The Park family’s modernist house was not a location. It was built from scratch on an
outdoor lot.

Seven Oscars, including three acting wins for Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee
Curtis.
Michelle Yeoh became the first Asian woman to win Best Actress.
The visual effects were handled by a team of fewer than ten people, most of them
self-taught.
Ke Huy Quan had all but left acting for two decades before this role brought him back.

Seven Oscars, including Nolan’s first wins for directing and for Best Picture.
Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. both took their first Academy Awards for it.
Kodak engineered a black-and-white 65mm stock that did not previously exist so Nolan could
shoot those sequences on IMAX.
A three-hour, R-rated drama about theoretical physics that passed 950 million dollars
worldwide.

Four Oscars, among them Best Picture and Best Director for Iñárritu.
Emmanuel Lubezki’s win here was the middle of three consecutive cinematography Oscars,
after Gravity and before The Revenant.
Antonio Sánchez’s improvised drum score was ruled ineligible for the score category,
which caused a minor uproar.
The long-take illusion was built from a handful of extended shots joined by hidden cuts.

Four Oscars: Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay, and Supporting Actor for Javier Bardem.
Adapted from Cormac McCarthy’s 2005 novel, with much of his dialogue carried over
intact.
Carter Burwell’s score runs about sixteen minutes and is nearly inaudible by design.
Roger Deakins was nominated twice that year, for this and The Assassination of Jesse James,
and won for neither.

What Is ‘The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth’ About?

The movie sees Brad Pitt reprise his Oscar-winning role from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, with the story moving forward to 1977. Los Angeles no longer needs a hippie-slaying stuntman the way it did. But Hollywood will always have problems, problems that can only be solved by someone with Cliff’s unique (occasionally extralegal) abilities. When he’s not earning his keep bartending or as a projectionist, Cliff Booth is a fixer — solving situations for Hollywood’s great and, sometimes, not so good.

Cliff is curious when he gets a call from talent agent Karen Crosby on behalf of her client, TV megastar Charlie Peters — a man known for doing his own stunts. And Cliff is further entertained and intrigued when he meets other characters in Charlie’s world, from his knowing wife, Toni, to pro football champion turned screen star Roderick “Hot Rod” Harrison. Then there are the Verdusco brothers, Eddie and Fernando, mysterious gangsters causing mayhem across the city.

The cast includes Elizabeth Debicki (The Crown) as Karen Crosby, Scott Caan (Hawaii Five-0) as Charlie Peters, Carla Gugino (The Fall of the House of Usher) as Toni Peters, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Watchmen) as Roderick Harrison, Matt Groove as one of the Verdusco brothers, JB Tadena as the other Verdusco brother, and Peter Weller (RoboCop).
