We’re nonetheless firmly within the “Gimmick Popcorn Bucket Era” of movie theaters, and it exhibits no indicators of stopping. Normally, these gimmicky popcorn buckets are objects that followers need to purchase and gather. But it surely 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 fashionable Conjuring collection. The film is being marketed as a form of ending for this period of the spooky franchise, although it seems like extra Conjuring universe motion pictures will occur sooner or later. Anyway, as seen in Last 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, linked to a faux-wooden bucket with the film’s emblem slapped on it. The bucket can be accessible to order on Wednesday, over two weeks earlier than the film’s launch.

Within the Conjuring universe, the place she has three of her personal spin-off motion pictures in addition to appearances in the principle collection, Annabelle is portrayed as scary, harmful, evil, and simply usually not an excellent doll you need to take house. I wasn’t shocked, then, that a variety of followers on-line don’t need this cursed piece of plastic of their houses.
“Oh hell no lol,” stated one person. “Um, that’s one bucket I don’t want,” stated one other individual. Another person replied: “Y’all can keep that one.”
“Am I supposed to take this home?” requested somebody in a reply to DiscussingFilm‘s tweet about the doll bucket. A diffferent user replied to the same tweet with: “Nah nah nah nah you’re not gonna get me Annabelle, good strive.”
