Netflix Tests Theatrical Window With Greta Gerwig’s Narnia Film

Netflix will grant Greta Gerwig’s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew a wide theatrical window before streaming, marking the streamer’s first major move into broad in-theaters releases; the film will open in theaters in February and then stream on Netflix, a strategy Netflix says is not a general change but signals growing interest in collaborations with theaters amid pressure from the industry to extend theater windows.
