The “Stranger Things” series finale is shaping up to be a major theatrical event.
1.1 million people have RSVP’d to watch the final episode of the Netflix sci-fi series in theaters on New Year’s Eve, according to an Instagram post from co-creator Ross Duffer, who also said that 3,500 showtimes across more than 620 theaters are completely sold out.
Duffer teased that he and his brother Matt Duffer, his co-creator, would be attending a screening or two. “What a way to close out a ten-year journey—together,” Duffer wrote. “Maybe we’ll see some of you in LA.”
Volume 1 of Season 5 premiered with four episodes on Thanksgiving Day, and Volume 2 followed with three more episodes on Christmas Day. Along with the theatrical release, the series finale will be concurrently released on Netflix on Dec. 31.
The finale will bring to a close what has been one of Netflix’s most important ventures ever. As exclusively reported by Variety, “Stranger Things” recently crossed 1.2 billion views, and has contributed more than $1.4 billion to the U.S. GDP. Season 4, which was released in 2023, still stands as Netflix’s No. 2 most popular English-language TV title of all time, and it’s expected that Season 5 will enter that list soon after its eligibility window opens in January, after the release of the finale.
More to come…
