**LOS ANGELES –** Regal Cinemas is taking the collectible popcorn bucket trend to a new level with its latest offering: a $30.99 Nosferatu-themed sarcophagus. The ornate container, designed to accompany the upcoming Robert Eggers film, will be available starting December 18th, a week ahead of the movie’s Christmas Day release. Customers can purchase the sarcophagus with a large popcorn or opt for the empty container for $25.99.
This latest entry in the increasingly popular – and sometimes controversial – trend of movie-themed popcorn buckets follows the success of previous viral items like AMC’s R2-D2 bucket and others. Regal’s Nosferatu sarcophagus aims to boost revenue, capitalizing on the cinematic tie-in to the horror remake starring Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, and Willem Dafoe. The film itself is a reimagining of the 1922 German classic based on Bram Stoker’s *Dracula*.
The sarcophagus, unlike a simple coffin, is designed with elaborate detailing reflecting the film’s gothic horror aesthetic. Whether this extravagant offering signals the peak or the end of the collectible popcorn bucket wars remains to be seen.
