## Key points

- Cinemark and Regal will not show Netflix’s Cliff Booth film.
- Netflix has set a two-week Imax window before streaming.
- Both chains say they will support the new Hunger Games film.

## Summary

Cinemark chief executive Sean Gamble says the brief cinema window planned for Netflix’s The Further Mis-Adventures Of Cliff Booth does not support the long-term health of theatrical film-going. Cinemark and Regal will not screen the film, while AMC and some independent cinemas will show it, putting the dispute over streaming release windows in focus.

Netflix plans a two-week Imax cinema run from 25 November, followed by streaming on 25 December. Gamble said cinemas assess bookings individually and cited the risk of setting precedents that could weaken the theatrical market. Both chains plan to support The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping, which opens immediately beforehand; Regal says it will back the film in Imax. Netflix has announced six theatrical releases through November 2027, with windows varying by film.
