While the world is waiting to see if Barbie 2 it will happen, the director and co-writer behind it billions of dollars he’s quietly making the energy flow in some of the movies. We’ve known that for a while Greta Gerwig is the director Netflix is The Chronicles of Narnia reboot, but a new report suggests the CS Lewis adaptation will get an IMAX screening before it hits the streamer.
According to Puck storiesGerwig Narnia the film “will hit nearly 1,000 IMAX screens worldwide on Thanksgiving Day 2026 and won’t appear on Netflix until Christmas,” with a two-week IMAX run guaranteed and the possibility of a third extension if there’s enough audience interest. Also, “there’s a chance” Narnia it may also play in other non-IMAX theaters ahead of time. In addition, “Netflix is committed to marketing the IMAX release as a regular tentpole movie and branding Narnia as a ‘Netflix/IMAX’ title from the beginning.
Puck says that the deal was made despite Netflix’s well-known refusal to show his movies in theaters – unless they were told they were preparing for an award nomination – because CEO Ted Sarandos realized the importance of “putting” the Oscar-nominated Gerwig. , whose films Barbie including Little Women and Lady Bird. He also wrote the upcoming Disney feature Snow White.
The release shows that 1,000 IMAX screens in two weeks is more and longer than the production of Netflix – Rian Johnson’s. Glass Onion: Strange Knives– has been rescheduled for 2022, and I wonder if the big name directors will follow Gerwig’s example and push Netflix to join them. (You have to think that fans won’t be happy with Guillermo del Toro’s similar translation method Frankensteinwhich is expected to hit the streamer sometime this year.)
Are you excited to see Gerwig’s? Narnia on the big, big screen in 2026—or will you wait a few weeks to watch it on Netflix?
