A picture of The Conjuring Last Rites popcorn bucket featuring the creepy Annabelle doll has been circulating on social media. This has made fans of the horror series want to know how much the collectible container will be and which theater(s), like AMC or Regal, will be offering it for sale. The Conjuring Last Rites, colloquially known as The Conjuring 4, is pitched as the last case for the Warrens — that’s paranormal investigators Ed Warren (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga). We suspect that this creepy popcorn bucket won’t be the only one around that will appear when the movie releases nationwide in US theaters in early September. At any rate, let’s try to delve into the rumors about this popcorn bucket first.
What is the release date and price of The Conjuring Last Rites popcorn bucket?
The estimated release date for The Conjuring Last Rites popcorn bucket is September 3 to 5, and its price looks to be somewhere in the $40-60 range given the inclusion of the Annabelle doll figurine that wraps around the container.
Images of the popcorn bucket have been posted on Facebook and Reddit. It’s unclear which theater chain will feature this particular container as there has been no official confirmation yet, but looking at the comments, it looks like it will be from Regal Cinemas. Some evidence supporting this is the case comes from Regal itself, which is offering a sweepstakes that ends on September 3 where a lucky customer will win a “Regal exclusive premium Annabelle popcorn container” apparently priced at $39.99.
The Conjuring Last Rites officially releases on September 5 in the US, so the popcorn bucket should be ready for sale by then at the latest. Some theaters, though, might have it available for pre-order several days to a week before that, so it’s recommended that customers check the official storefronts so they can grab one before supplies run out. Apart from Regal, other chains like Cinemark, AMC, and Alamo Drafthouse are poised to create popcorn buckets of their own for the movie given how popular The Conjuring Universe is and how high the box office projections are for the film.
We settled on the $40-60 range because of similar pricing of other popcorn buckets, particularly those that feature a figurine holding the vessel. For instance, at Cinemark The Fantastic Four: First Steps Mr. Fantastic popcorn bucket is $57.95 and the Lilo & Stitch coconut popcorn bucket with plush is $49.95. We’ll have to see if the supposed $40 price tag mentioned before will hold.
