Netflix has agreed to a theatrical release for "Narnia," a new film adaptation of the C.S. Lewis fantasy novels, Puck reports.
The big picture: Netflix "mostly prefers to have its movies, particularly the more broadly commercial ones, debut on its platform," per Variety.
Greta Gerwig, who made "Barbie, is directing "Narnia," which is set to hit Imax theaters on Thanksgiving Day 2026 and Netflix at Christmas that year.
💭 Nathan's thought bubble: I hope it's better than 2005's "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," which I remember as a disappointment.
