We’re nonetheless firmly within the “Gimmick Popcorn Bucket Period” of film theaters, and it reveals no indicators of stopping. Normally, these gimmicky popcorn buckets are objects that followers wish to purchase and acquire. However it looks like not many individuals need the creepy bucket for The Conjuring: Final Rites, that includes iconic haunted doll Annabelle. I’m wondering why.
On August 18, Regal Cinema shared a photograph of its popcorn bucket for the upcoming horror movie, The Conjuring: Final Rites, the ninth (?!) movie within the wildly standard Conjuring collection. The film is being marketed as a kind of ending for this period of the spooky franchise, although it feels like extra Conjuring universe motion pictures will occur sooner or later. Anyway, as seen in Final Rites’ new trailer, the franchise’s well-known haunted doll, Annabelle, is returning for the Conjuring’s finale. And to have fun, Regal’s new popcorn bucket options the doll herself, related to a faux-wooden bucket with the film’s brand slapped on it. The bucket will probably be accessible to order on Wednesday, over two weeks earlier than the film’s launch.
