Gerwig got Stairway to Heaven under the first Narnia trailer

Netflix released the first trailer for Greta Gerwig’s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew on Tuesday, scored to Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven.” Gerwig told Variety she wrote to Plant and Page and showed them an early cut to get the license. The clip has Daniel Craig as Uncle Andrew, Emma Mackey as Jadis, and Meryl Streep’s Aslan forming out of dust. IMAX sneaks are February 10, 2027, theaters February 12, and Netflix April 2. A week ago the Lewis family said they had not heard audio. Tuesday’s trailer does not include a new word from them.

Daniel falls 62.7% to 355 screens

Daniel and the Fiery Furnace grossed $248,026 in its fourth weekend, down 62.7 percent, from 355 theaters. That is 376 fewer screens than the 731 it played the weekend before. The per-theater average was $698. The domestic total through Sunday is $8,093,058. EKKL Entertainment opened the Book of Daniel picture on September 18 at $3,303,548 from 1,525 theaters. Four weekends later the map is under a quarter of that opening count, and the weekend itself is smaller than a single midweek the film posted in September.
