Netflix delays 'Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew' to Feb 2027 with expanded theatrical release before streaming

Netflix has postponed the release of "Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew" from Thanksgiving 2026 to February 12, 2027. The film will now have exclusive IMAX previews starting February 10, followed by a wide global theatrical release, before streaming begins on April 2. This marks a significant step in Netflix's approach to theatrical releases, offering a longer exclusive cinema window than usual. The movie, directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Daniel Craig and Meryl Streep, adapts a prequel from C.S. Lewis' Narnia series, signaling Netflix's growing collaboration with major theater chains like AMC.
