The Tony Gilroy film received a standing ovation at its worldwide premiere, marking a strong debut before festival audiences and industry observers.
Pedro Pascal and Will Arnett joined the cast on the red carpet and greeted attendees following the screening.
The film is directed by Tony Gilroy, whose previous work includes the acclaimed Bourne series and the television drama Andor.
The premiere at the New York Film Festival places Behemoth among the season’s closely watched new releases, with attention focused on its ensemble cast and Gilroy’s latest directing effort.
The enthusiastic reception offers an early indication of audience interest, although broader critical and public response will emerge as the film moves toward release.
