Netflix Won’t Partner With Filmmakers Demanding Theatrical-Only Releases

Dan Lin, Netflix’s film chief, told The New York Times that the streamer will not work with filmmakers who insist on traditional theatrical windows, calling Greta Gerwig’s Narnia film an exception after it received a wide theatrical release before streaming. Lin, who joined Netflix in 2024, says the company aims to spend less on more, higher‑quality movies and to focus on comedies and book adaptations, with Narnia marking Netflix’s first sanctioned wide theatrical release for a Netflix title (the film’s window was adjusted to Feb. 12, 2027 in theaters and to streaming on Apr. 2, 2027). The stance reflects Netflix’s evolving approach to theatrical windows, balancing selective cinema runs with the streaming rollout for other titles.
