Overview
- The special screenings run from 5 p.m. PT on Dec. 31 through Jan. 1, coinciding with the finale’s global Netflix release.
- AMC CEO Adam Aron said many theaters are packed with numerous sellouts, though some seats remain available.
- Creator Ross Duffer said roughly 1.1 million seats had been sold across participating chains as of two days before the event.
- Because guild clearances were not secured, exhibitors sold concession vouchers tied to reserved seats instead of traditional tickets, with theaters keeping the revenue.
- Netflix will not report box office for these promotional showings, and AMC says it will disclose its own ticket tally between Friday and Monday after noting its typical 26% market share and that just over one third of participating locations are AMC.
