  The Brutalist had its world premiere at the 81st Venice International Film Festival on September 1, 2024, where it competed for the Golden Lion and won the Silver Lion for Corbet. It also played at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2024. The film's festival run also included selections for screenings at the 2024 New York Film Festival, the 69th Valladolid International Film Festival, and the 31st Austin Film Festival. A week after its premiere at Venice, A24 acquired U.S. distribution rights to the film for $10–15 million in what was described as a competitive situation. One distributor that bid for the film was Neon, although the company's CEO Tom Quinn said that he and Corbet disagreed on whether to delay the film's release to 2025 in order to produce more 70mm prints. It was released in the U.S. by A24 on December 20, 2024, and was released in the United Kingdom by Focus Features through Universal Pictures UK on January 24, 2025. In Canada, it was distributed by Elevation Pictures.
  
  It was screened in IMAX theaters two days prior to its limited theatrical release for New York and Los Angeles before being screened in IMAX nationwide throughout January.
  
  It was featured in the Limelight section of the 54th International Film Festival Rotterdam to be screened in February 2025.
