Eminem’s ‘STANS’ Documentary Is Hitting Theaters for One Weekend Only: Watch the Teaser Trailer
The film will launch at more than 135 AMC locations in the U.S. in August.
The Eminem-produced STANS documentary detailing the inner workings of superfandom is slated to arrive in the U.S. on Aug. 7, and the film will be in just over 135 AMC theaters for one weekend only through Aug. 10.
Directed by Steven Leckart, STANS debuted to applause from critics at the inaugural SXSW London Screen Festival in June. U.S. tickets are available for purchase now along with the soundtrack’s pre-order, which boasts previously unreleased music, while international tickets will go on sale on July 24. For global fans, Trafalgar Releasing is set to launch STANS in more than 50 territories and 1,600 theaters worldwide also on Aug. 7.
The trailer delivers a snapshot of images and visuals throughout Em’s career while he’s being peppered with popular questions from fans about his personal life, family, music and fame. To close out the clip, he sits down for what appears to be an interview. “What’s your first question?” he asks.
STANS is set to examine Eminem’s iconic career through the eyes of his most rabid fans over his nearly three decades in the spotlight. Slim Shady’s prominent collaborators contributed to the doc along with the fans, whom he provided the soundtrack to their lives.
The documentary was based on the 2000 hit of the same name, “Stan,” which arrived in May that year as the third single from The Marshall Mathers LP. Produced by 45 King, the storytelling track about an obsessive fan peaked at No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has more than 1 billion streams on Spotify.
“Stan” has even become common vernacular in the music world for crazed fans, as the word was added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary in 2019.
Eminem made his participation official when he took to social media in 2024 to call for his most diehard fans to get involved.
In addition to Em’s Shady Films, DIGA Studios, Fuqua Films and MTV Entertainment Studios are all on board as producers of the poignant documentary.
