Narnian fans, hold your horses for a bit longer. Netflix's 'The Magician’s Nephew' is making its way to your local cinema first before landing on your streaming service later this year.

The movie, directed by Greta Gerwig and featuring the talents of Daniel Craig and Meryl Streep, will premiere in IMAX theatres from February 10, 2027, with a global release following two days later. Expect a full theatrical run before it streams on April 2.

This ambitious plan by Netflix to collaborate more closely with movie theaters might just be the biggest step yet in their evolving relationship. With its potential for blockbuster appeal and the recent success of 'Stranger Things' screenings, AMC Theatres are already salivating at the thought of bigger audiences and potentially larger takings.

The delay is part of a strategic move by Netflix to align with theatrical interests, which was previously a sticking point in their negotiations with creators behind hit series like 'Stranger Things.' This could be seen as a win-win for both streaming giants and moviegoers alike, offering a unique hybrid viewing experience that bridges the gap between home and cinema.
