Reviews may remain divided on the final season of Stranger Things, but it was a blockbuster outing for AMC (AMC). In collaboration with Netflix (NFLX), the biggest theater chain in the world aired the series finale in 231 U.S. theaters on the festive occasion of New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. The move turned out to be a lucrative one for AMC, with the company's revenues from the two-day show coming in at a staggering $15 million. For context, for the entire quarter ended Sept. 30, 2025, the company clocked revenues of $1.3 billion.
Sounding enthusiastic about the collaboration, with hints for more such in the future, AMC CEO Adam Aron said, “I have every confidence that more enticing joint projects will emerge for Netflix and AMC in 2026 and beyond, all the while with AMC respecting its obligations to treat its many studio partners in an even-handed manner.”
