AMC Entertainment successfully screened the series finale of Netflix’s 'Stranger Things' over New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. This positive outcome prompted both companies to begin active discussions.
The collaboration builds on a partnership established in 2025. Netflix continues its evolving strategy of utilizing theatrical releases for major programming events.
The arrangement allows Netflix to tap AMC’s large theatrical footprint. This engagement targets a shared customer base, as a large percentage of AMC loyalty members also subscribe to Netflix.
Discussions focus on showing additional Netflix content on AMC screens throughout 2026 and beyond. The announcement did not include specific future releases or financial terms.
