Right now there isn’t a single, fixed list of every theater showing Stranger Things, because the screenings are spread across hundreds of cinemas and depend on your location.

What is actually in theaters

  • Only the series finale of Stranger Things Season 5 (often listed as “Stranger Things 5: The Finale”) is being shown in cinemas, not the whole season.
  • The finale is a special fan screening event running in more than 500 theaters across the U.S. and Canada, starting December 31, 2025 and continuing into January 1, 2026.

Where to check specific theaters

To see exactly which theaters near you are showing it, you need to use one of the official lookup tools:

  • Go to the official event site: ST5Finale.com (or ST5Finale-style URL linked by Netflix) and use the “Find Screenings” / location search.
  • Or check major chains’ sites and apps and search for “Stranger Things 5: The Finale”:
    • AMC Theatres show a dedicated page with locations and showtimes.
* Cinemark lists it with a showtime finder by ZIP/postal code.

* Fandango has a movie overview page that routes you to participating theaters near you.

Typical participating chains

While it still depends on your city, these are commonly mentioned as carrying the finale event:

  • AMC locations in many major U.S. cities
  • Cinemark multiplexes
  • Regal and other regional partners

Exact sites vary, so your local search on those platforms is required to confirm.

  1. Enter your city or ZIP/postal code.
  1. Look for “Stranger Things 5: The Finale” on dates Dec 31, 2025 and Jan 1, 2026.
