While this is a very un-Netflix-like thing to do for a TV series, the series finale of Stranger Things is such a big deal that the service has bent to its showrunners and is allowing the season 5, volume 3 finale to release in movie theaters for a very limited time.
This is a two-day-only event for the Stranger Things finale, and it’s a limited release, just 350 theaters across the US and Canada, where showtimes do not start until 5 PM PT, 8 PM ET, timed to occur when the finale airs on Netflix itself, so theatergoers aren’t at some sort of hours-early spoiler advantage, or vice-versa.
Those tickets are live today, and the showtime runs two hours and thirty minutes. I’m not precisely sure if that’s all-in with credits and such, but we’ve known it’s at least two hours.
