\n\tChange-up for Netflix\u2019s Narnia<\/a> movie from Greta Gerwig. It\u2019s now going Febraury 12, 2027, instead of Thanksgiving this year, but that\u2019s not all \u2014 it\u2019s getting a full wide theatrical release window from the streamer. Bravo, Netflix.<\/p>\n

\n\tSneak previews in Imax will begin on Feb. 10. The global wide release is February 12 with a Netflix drop on April 2.<\/p>\n

\n\tSemi-technically, Narnia is the second wide theatrical release for Netflix after last August\u2019s KPop Demon Hunters Singalong, which included all circuits sans No. 1 AMC; the pic delivering the streamer\u2019s first No. 1 weekend take at the domestic B.O. with $19M. <\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing Netflix\u2019s bid for Warner Bros, sources say the streamer kicked about a wide theatrical release for Narnia. Gerwig always wanted it. A member of the cast was injured, we hear, which delayed production for six weeks. Narnia would not make its Thanksgiving Imax date, so the decision was made to head to Feb. 12, 2027. I\u2019m told this wasn\u2019t a huddled talks decision that came together with exhibitors over CinemaCon. It was always Plan B. Narnia will go up against Sony\u2019s Elle and Dakota Fanning period movie Nightingale on Feb. 12 as well as Paramount\u2019s untitled K-Pop move from director Benson Lee. <\/p>\n

Entitled Narnia: The Magician\u2019s Nephew, it\u2019s based on C.S. Lewis\u2019 novel which was published on May 2, 1955. Cast is led by newcomers David McKenna and Beatrice Campbell alongside Emma Mackey, Carey Mulligan, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith with Daniel Craig and Meryl Streep.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWorking with Netflix to bring this film to life has been extraordinary and IMAX continues to be an incredible partner. I cannot wait for people to see the film in theaters on February 12 and on Netflix on April 2,\u201d said Gerwig in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was a child when I first read\u00a0The Magician\u2019s Nephew,\u00a0and I fell in love with the gorgeously improbable but completely brilliant concept of a cosmic lion singing the world of Narnia to life,\u201d added the 4x Oscar nominated filmmaker. \u201cI didn\u2019t know that I would grow up to make films, but a universe built out of music is an idea that always lived in my heart. It is the honor of a lifetime to be asked to imagine it into being. Because of C. S. Lewis\u2019s\u00a0The Chronicles of Narnia, I believed in magic and hidden worlds and adventure. I believed that anywhere could be enchanted and that anyone could be swept up into an epic. That wonder and awe was available to everyone, even ordinary people like me\u2026It transformed me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFrom the outset, we got involved with\u00a0Narnia: The Magician\u2019s Nephew\u00a0to support Greta Gerwig and see her vision realized to the fullest in IMAX. The film\u2019s delay until 2027 creates an opportunity to give\u00a0Narnia\u00a0an expanded, wide release with a full theatrical window; we support Greta and Netflix in pursuing that opportunity and are pleased IMAX could help facilitate. We hope as many people in as many places as possible can experience what Greta is creating with this special film \u2014 particularly in its exclusive debut in IMAX, as it was meant to be seen,\u201d said an Imax rep in a statement. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s incredibly moving to see how deeply Greta Gerwig has embraced C. S. Lewis\u2019s world, and infused\u00a0Narnia: The Magician\u2019s Nephew\u00a0with joy, heart, and genuine love for the story,\u201d says the C. S. Lewis Company. \u201cWe\u2019re so excited for audiences everywhere to experience her vision \u2014 and to share the magic of Narnia with a whole new generation.\u201d
Narnia: The Magician\u2019s Nephew\u00a0is produced by Mark Gordon, Amy Pascal, Vincent Sieber-Smith, and Gerwig, and executive produced by Patricia Whitcher and Douglas Gresham and Melvin Adams for the C. S. Lewis Estate. The film is co-produced by Christine Crais.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Change-up for Netflix\u2019s Narnia movie from Greta Gerwig.
