Greta Gerwig’s 'Narnia' to Get Wide Theatrical, IMAX Release Next Year
- Netflix is moving Greta Gerwig's Narnia: The Magician's Nephew to February 12, 2027, with IMAX sneak previews beginning February 10, 2027, and a Netflix streaming release on April 2, 2027.
- Shifting from the originally planned Thanksgiving 2026 window allows for a full wide theatrical release, replacing the previously scheduled two-week global IMAX run.
- Directed by Gerwig, the prequel to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe features Meryl Streep voicing Aslan, alongside Emma Mackey, Carey Mulligan, and Daniel Craig.
- IMAX stated the delay creates an opportunity to give Narnia an "expanded, wide release with a full theatrical window," supporting Netflix's strategy to maximize reach.
- Following production delays caused by a cast injury, this move represents Netflix's significant theatrical push to bring the world created by Lewis to global audiences.
