In reference to IMAX’s quarterly earnings, IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond made vague but encouraging remarks about rumors that Netflix and IMAX were negotiating to show Greta Gerwig’s “The Chronicles of Narnia” on 2,000 screens worldwide in 2026, as reported by Puck News. The Hollywood Reporter states that Gelfond commented on these alleged discussions: “Directors and film studios are increasingly embracing the IMAX experience…we’re constantly striving to find new ways to make content more exciting.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, while discussions for a potential IMAX release over Thanksgiving 2026 are taking place, it’s uncertain if “Narnia” will secure enough theater exclusivity to satisfy chains like AMC. If these companies reject the proposal, this daring shift in Netflix’s stance on theatrical releases could be abandoned.
