Black Phone 2’s AMC Popcorn Bucket Is Genius

by

A special edition popcorn bucket has been released for the movie *Black Phone 2*, and it’s a creative collectible! The horror sequel, featuring Ethan Hawke and Mason Thames, is now in theaters. Following the trend of many popular movies, *Black Phone 2* is offering this unique bucket for fans to collect while enjoying a snack at the cinema.

AMC Theatres has unveiled a special edition popcorn bucket for the movie *Black Phone 2*, and fans are excited! The bucket is shaped like the creepy black rotary phone from the film and actually works – you can spin the dial. It even includes a headset that plays a recording of the villain, Grabber (played by Ethan Hawke), when you hold it to your ear.

Unlike most collectible popcorn buckets designed to hold snacks upright, this bucket has the popcorn resting at the bottom, and the phone sits face down on top. Most newer buckets are shaped to keep your popcorn accessible from the top.

The special phone accessory is one of several items created to promote the movie *Black Phone*, including a unique Funko Pop! figure of the film’s villain, played by Ethan Hawke.

You can now get the limited-edition *Black Phone 2* popcorn bucket at AMC movie theaters. It costs $34.99 and includes a large popcorn.

The horror sequel, *Black Phone 2*, arrived in theaters on Friday, October 17th. Picking up the story from the 2021 film, it focuses on a young girl named Gwen (Madeleine McGraw) who is troubled by nightmares about boys dying at a winter camp. This leads her and her brother to the camp, where she faces a terrifying encounter with the villain, known as the Grabber (Ethan Hawke).

Scott Derrickson, the director of *Doctor Strange*, returns to write and direct the latest installment in the supernatural series. The film features Ethan Hawke, Jim McGraw, Mason Thames, and Demián Bichir in leading roles.

Could Black Phone 2 Have Even More Popcorn Bucket Fun? 

The *Black Phone 2* popcorn bucket is a really clever idea. Movie theaters could actually expand on this and create even more exciting items based on the film.

Okay, so I just saw *Black Phone 2*, and if you’re hoping to snag one of those cool popcorn buckets, you might be out of luck! It looks like AMC had an exclusive bucket, and that’s pretty much it. They do have some other merchandise at their theaters, but don’t expect a huge selection beyond that. Honestly, I wish I’d known about the bucket beforehand – it was a really neat design!

Big, popular movies often get special popcorn buckets made by different theaters, both in the U.S. and internationally. For example, the recent horror film *Alien: Romulus* had four different bucket designs sold at major theater chains this year.

It’s surprising AMC’s competitors haven’t created similar phone-shaped buckets. A bucket designed like just the headset would have been neat, and it’s odd that none of them are based on the iconic Grabber mask from ‘Halloween II’.

Let’s hope the movie is successful enough for a third *Black Phone* film, giving them a chance to fix the issues with the on-screen snacking in a future installment.
