Netflix The series finale of Stranger Things has broken records after making its debut on both Netflix and in cinemas on New Year’s Eve. Thanks to its concurrent release in theaters and on streaming, the show’s grand finale likely garnered between $20 million and $25 million in revenue, according to data obtained by the Hollywood Reporter . The publication noted that Netflix doesn’t report box-office grosses itself, but box-office charts and ticket sales are revealing. The finale episode was released in approximately 600 cinemas across North America, with tickets selling for $20 at AMC and Cinemark Theatres, and for $11 at Regal Cinemas, the latter in a nod to the show’s central character, Eleven, played by Millie Bobby Brown. The episode, which has a run-time of two hours and eight minutes, ran on Dec. 31, 2025, and again through Jan. 1, 2026. AMC reportedly earned $15 million just from the food and beverage credits purchased. Read more at The Daily Beast.
