Most major theater chains are playing the Stranger Things 5: The Finale special event, but the exact theaters depend on your location and are only visible in the online booking tools for each chain.

Key theater chains

  • AMC Theatres is one of the main partners, with reports of roughly 200 AMC locations in the U.S. hosting screenings of the finale event.
  • Cinemark locations are selling access via a concessions voucher that includes a free reserved seat for the finale on December 31, 2025, with showtimes searchable “near you” on their site.
  • Regal is also repeatedly cited in coverage as one of the three big chains (with AMC and Cinemark) participating in the rollout of the finale screenings.

Scope of the theatrical run

  • Official announcements describe “select theaters” across the U.S. and Canada, originally more than 350 cinemas, later expanded to around 620 theaters as demand grew.
  • Coverage notes over 1.1 million RSVPs and thousands of showtimes, with many screenings at the big chains already close to sold out for New Year’s Eve 2025.

How to find specific theaters near you

  • Use the official Stranger Things 5 site’s “find screenings & reserve seats” tool, which lets you search by city or ZIP/postal code to see participating theaters and showtimes.
  • Check major ticket platforms (like Fandango) and the individual sites/apps for AMC, Cinemark, Regal, and any strong regional chains in your area; each will show whether they are hosting the finale and at what times.

If you share your city or ZIP code, the next step would be to plug that into one of these theater finders to see an exact list for your area.
