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.
