Imax Stands to Benefit from Netflix's Deal for Warner Bros. -- Market Talk

Dow Jones12-06

1059 ET - Netflix's acquisition of Warner Bros. is a major win for Imax, as the cinema-technology company already has a strong partnership with the streaming giant. Netflix and Imax previously said the streamer's upcoming Narnia movie, directed by Greta Gerwig, will have a limited Imax theatrical release next year, before debuting on the streaming service for Christmas 2026. The deal won't change Imax's near-term outlook given Warner Bros. commitments through 2029. "Instead, the combination amplifies Imax's role as the premier premium theatrical partner for the world's largest streaming platform, positioning the company to benefit from more event-style releases, deeper filmmaker alignment, and structurally stronger economics as Netflix expands its theatrical ambitions," the analysts write.
