‘Nosferatu’ Popcorn Sarcophagus Revealed by Regal Cinemas

Regal Cinemas’ latest collectible popcorn bucket isn’t bad.

The theater chain has revealed a Nosferatu popcorn sarcophagus (below) for the upcoming Robert Eggers horror film.

The ornate box will be priced at $30.99 with a large popcorn — or $25.99 for those who just want to sit in a theater and watch a movie with an empty sarcophagus on their lap.

The Nosferatu box will go on sale a week in advance (Wednesday, December 18) following the film’s official release date on Christmas Day, December 25.

(By the way, if you’re wondering what the difference is between a coffin and a sarcophagus, the former is any old burial box, while the latter is generally made of stone, adorned with carvings or inscriptions, and often stored above ground – like a giant closed tombstone , basically.)

Here’s a look at the box without lighting effects:

The sarcophagus marks the latest viral popcorn collectible that theater chains have created to help boost revenue, with the infamous Dune popcorn bucket is the most famous and the Deadpool and Wolverine bucket is the most naughty. The origin of the trend is credited to AMC Theaters and Disney, who in 2019 teamed up to create an R2-D2 popcorn and drink holder for the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker that sold out at $49.99 each.

Nosferatu is a remake of the 1922 German classic, which was based on Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula. The film stars Bill Skarsgard, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney and Willem Dafoe.

Regal Cinemas sees your collectible popcorn buckets and elevates them with a collectible popcorn sarcophagus.
