Greta Gerwig's 'Narnia' Pushes to 2027 for Global IMAX Premiere Before Netflix Launch

Greta Gerwig's highly anticipated "Narnia: The Magician's Nephew" has been rescheduled for a major cinematic debut, moving from its original Thanksgiving 2026 slot to February 12, 2027. The film will receive a significant global IMAX theatrical release, positioning it as a premium cinematic event before its availability on Netflix starting April 2, 2027. This strategic shift emphasizes a commitment to the immersive big-screen experience, allowing for extensive post-production and capitalizing on a less crowded release window. Adapting the foundational prequel of C.S. Lewis's beloved series, Gerwig's involvement, following the success of "Barbie," has generated immense excitement. The dual release strategy aims to blend the magic of communal cinema with the vast reach of streaming, setting the stage for a potentially grand new chapter for the Narnia franchise.
