Netflix Announces Stranger Things Day with Theater Screenings, Merch Drops, and More
By ERIN BRADY
November 6 is a day that has been forever etched into the minds of "Stranger Things" fans, as it was on that day in 1983 when Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) disappeared. Netflix has made an effort to commemorate the day ever since the show took off, and this year the streaming giant will be expanding "Stranger Things Day" like never before.
This year's "Stranger Things" event will be held in collaboration with Cinemark Theatres in nearly 20 cities, including Los Angeles and New York City. Fans will be able to watch "Stranger Things 4: Vol. 2" for the first time on the big screen, and according to the official "Stranger Things Day" website there will also be “trivia, giveaways, and other surprises.”
If you can’t make the Cinemark location, the "Stranger Things Experience" will be open in Atlanta, Los Angeles, and London with what the streamer calls a "brand-new story" involving a mysterious new Hawkins Laboratory experiment. There will also be new merchandise items going on sale on Netflix's official shop throughout the day.
