are there trailers before stranger things finale in theaters

Yes, there will almost certainly be trailers and pre-show content before the Stranger Things series finale in theaters, just like with a normal movie screening.

How the screenings are set up

• The finale is being treated as a feature-length event (about 2 hours and 5 minutes) in more than 500 theaters across the U.S. and Canada.

• The showtime listed (for example, 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET on December 31) refers to the scheduled start of the main feature, not the pre-show.

Why you should expect trailers

• These screenings are running in regular commercial cinemas, which almost always attach trailers and/or ads to any feature booking, even for special events.

• No official announcement says “no trailers”; instead, the event is marketed like a big-screen sendoff, which theaters typically package with standard pre-roll material.

What might play before it

• You can expect a mix of standard theater ads and upcoming movie trailers, plus possibly some Netflix or Stranger Things–related promos, depending on the theater chain and local programming.

• Exact pre-show content (length and which trailers) is decided by each theater, so it can vary by chain and location.

Practical tips if you’re worried about spoilers or timing

• If you want to skip most trailers, arrive 10–15 minutes after the posted showtime; most multiplexes run about that much pre-show before the main feature starts.
• For precise info, check with your specific theater (website or box office), since some places adjust pre-show length for special fan events like this.
