Greta Gerwig’s ‘Narnia’ Adaptation for Netflix Gets Imax Release


Greta Gerwig's 'Narnia' will open in Imax in 2026 before debuting on Netflix.

Greta Gerwig has leveraged her “Barbie” star power to convince Netflix to give her the big, broad theatrical release she wanted for “ Narnia,” her adaptation of C.S. The Imax launch is a rarity for the streamer, which does grant limited, Oscar-qualifying theatrical releases for its awards hopefuls like “Emilia Perez” and “Maria,” but mostly prefers to have its movies, particularly the more broadly commercial ones, debut on its platform. Other streamers have taken a looser approach to theatrical distribution, with the likes of Amazon and Apple debuting movies in cinemas, and allowing them to run there for weeks, even months, before they appear on their streaming services.
