Netflix and AMC Team Up for Big Screen Fun

A Successful Partnership Takes the Big Screen by Storm

AMC Theatres and Netflix have joined forces to bring popular shows to the big screen, starting with a successful Halloween event featuring "KPop Demon Hunters." This collaboration continued with the series finale of "Stranger Things," which was shown in 231 AMC theaters across the U.S. over New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

Record-Breaking Attendance

The "Stranger Things" event was a huge success, drawing over 753,000 fans in just two days. AMC, which had slightly more than one-third of the total theaters showing the finale, estimates that more than half of all theater-goers for "Stranger Things" chose AMC.

High Demand Leads to Increased Showtimes

The demand was so high that AMC had to add many more showtimes. Initially, they had planned for a certain number of seats, but ended up with more than nine times that capacity. Although the admission was free, attendees had to buy a $20 food and beverage credit, bringing in over $15 million for AMC in just two days.

Future Collaborations on the Horizon

The success of these events has led to discussions about future collaborations. Both companies are excited about the possibility of more joint projects in 2026 and beyond. This makes sense because many AMC customers are also Netflix subscribers. In the U.S., about two-thirds of AMC Stubs loyalty program members also subscribe to Netflix.

A Smooth and Creative Relationship

The relationship between AMC and Netflix has been smooth and creative. They are committed to finding more ways to bring Netflix's content to the big screen while treating all studio partners fairly. The goal is to provide a great theatrical experience for fans who enjoy both Netflix and AMC.
