The dramatic presidential campaign of 2016 has often felt like something beyond even Hollywood’s wildest imagination.

So it seems fitting that when this two-year slog toward Election Day finally comes to its conclusion on Nov. 8, you’ll be able to watch it in stadium seating with surround sound, clutching a box of buttered popcorn.

AMC Theaters announced on Oct. 24 that it would show CNN’s election-night coverage in 50 theaters in the United States — designating a “red” and a “blue” theater in each of 25 cities. It follows a move by a rival chain, Regal Cinemas, which showed the final two presidential debates in more than 200 theaters across the country.

And they’re hardly alone: Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, a chain based in Austin, Tex., saw more than 7,000 people attend its debate screenings this fall, said John Smith, its social media director, and is planning for election-night events as well. (The chain, famous for its zero-tolerance policy on cellphone use and talking during its screenings, will relax those rules on election night, he said.)
