Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of 'Frankenstein,' featuring Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, is set for a limited theatrical run starting October 17th, followed by its arrival on Netflix on November 7th. This theatrical release follows fan inquiries after the film was teased at Netflix's Tudum event, prompting the platform to offer a wider-than-usual cinema engagement. Director del Toro indicated the film would receive the biggest theatrical release Netflix offers its features, although the precise number of theaters is still unspecified, with the exclusive theatrical window lasting three weeks. Netflix has launched a ticketing site where users can search for local showtimes, noting that the initial opening on October 17th will be restricted exclusively to New York City and Los Angeles venues to satisfy awards-qualifying requirements. The film also stars Jacob Elordi as the Creature and Mia Goth as Elizabeth Lavenza, and this limited cinema run is unusual for Netflix, which typically reserves theatrical releases only for award consideration in specific markets.
