The limited theatrical engagement of the « Stranger Things 5 » finale in movie theaters scored over $25 million at the box office.
The “Stranger Things 5” finale wasn’t just a cultural phenomenon at home; it lit up the box office as well. The final episode of the smash-hit Netflix series pulled in over $25 million at the box office over New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day in 600 theaters, according to early industry estimates, marking a massive win from a collaboration between the streamer and movie theaters.
Netflix took no revenue from the limited theatrical event — theaters pocket all the cash themselves on this one. The chains technically didn’t sell tickets but instead charged for “concession vouchers” to reserve seats for the engagement, where the series finale of “Stranger Things” played in theaters at the same time it hit Netflix.
