Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Returns to IMAX Screens

The neon and dust of 1969 Los Angeles are coming back — bigger, louder, and sharper. Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood heads back to IMAX on October 30, 2026 (8 Aban 1405), giving audiences another chance to experience its sun-soaked streets and deadpan humor on the largest theatrical canvas.

This is the Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth show. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Dalton, the TV star fighting a fading career. Brad Pitt is Cliff, the weathered stuntman with more than a few surprises up his sleeve. Margot Robbie appears as Sharon Tate, luminous and at the center of a story about Hollywood in flux. The film unfolds as the industry itself reshapes, and these characters try to find footing amid the change.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood arrived in 2019 to strong reviews, ten Academy Award nominations and a Best Supporting Actor win for Brad Pitt. The film also grossed more than $378 million worldwide — proof that Tarantino’s blend of nostalgia, comedy and tension still draws a crowd. But seeing it in IMAX is a different animal: the scale, the color, the sound design — everything feels amplified.

Why now? The IMAX return arrives just ahead of The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, the new film that follows Cliff after the events of the original. Brad Pitt returns to the role, with David Fincher directing and Quentin Tarantino credited as the screenwriter. That combination alone is enough to stir curiosity. For many, this re-release will act as a primer — a way to revisit the world before diving into Cliff Booth’s next chapter.

Availability will vary by country and by theater, so check local listings if you want an IMAX ticket. Expect more than a simple re-run: this is about catching fine details — the production design, the soundtrack cues, the frames that Tarantino composed like little portraits of an era. It’s a reminder that some films are meant to be seen large.

Want to feel the rumble of a 1969 freeway and the quiet of a backyard conversation in IMAX? Mark your calendar and keep an eye on theater schedules — Cliff Booth’s comeback might start with a single, cinematic night.
