Netflix says Sony Pictures Entertainment will handle international theatrical distribution for Greta Gerwig’s “Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew.” The film is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on February 12, 2027, and will play in IMAX as well as in theaters. After its theatrical run, Netflix will debut the film on April 2, 2027. Netflix also states that sneak previews will begin in IMAX ahead of the wide release, with previews planned exclusively on IMAX. The reports agree that this arrangement positions the movie to run across traditional cinemas internationally while still having a later Netflix premiere. Sony’s role is described specifically for international theatrical distribution, rather than the Netflix streaming debut. The outlets also note Netflix’s comments that the partnership allows the film to reach audiences through a theatrical format that aligns with its streaming release.
