Following an acclaimed premiere at SXSW London, STANS—the long-awaited documentary executive produced by Eminem—is headed to the big screen worldwide. The feature will run in theaters for a limited engagement from August 7 to August 10, 2025, with exclusive showings at AMC Theatres in the U.S. and more than 1,600 cinemas globally, thanks to Trafalgar Releasing.
A brand-new teaser trailer has just been released, setting the tone for what’s shaping up to be a rare, emotional, and deeply personal look at one of hip-hop’s most complex icons—and the fans who made his legend possible.
A Fan’s Eye View of a Rap Icon
Directed by Steven Leckart, STANS explores the unique, and at times, obsessive relationship between Eminem and his worldwide fanbase. The title takes inspiration from the rapper’s 2000 hit “Stan,” a song that not only redefined the idea of fandom but also gave birth to the now-officially recognized slang term “stan.”This authorized, unconventional documentary uses stylized recreations, never-before-seen archival footage, and intimate interviews to showcase how Eminem’s music shaped an entire generation. It’s raw, funny, and sometimes heartbreaking—an honest look at the bond between an artist and the people who saw themselves in his lyrics.
Limited Run, Global Reach
In the U.S., STANS will be released via AMC Theatres Distribution at 135+ AMC locations, with a minimum of two showings daily during its limited engagement. Meanwhile, international audiences can catch the documentary in more than 50 countries, with screening details available starting Thursday, July 24 at 2 PM BSTSoundtrack Release: New Music Incoming
