Overview
- Netflix announced Friday that Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew will hold IMAX previews on February 10, open wide in theaters on February 12, 2027, and stream on April 2, 2027.
- This replaces a 2026 holiday plan of a two‑week IMAX run and a Christmas Day streaming debut with an exclusive theatrical window of about 45–49 days.
- IMAX said the delay enables a full theatrical window for the film, and theater leaders publicly welcomed Netflix’s wider release strategy.
- Trade outlets describe the rollout as Netflix’s biggest theatrical push to date for an English‑language title, marking a rare commitment to a long cinema run before streaming.
- The Greta Gerwig–written and directed origin story adapts C. S. Lewis’s The Magician’s Nephew, features Carey Mulligan, Daniel Craig, Meryl Streep, and Emma Mackey, and has a score by Mark Ronson.
