The Sonic bucket is the head of the ‘hog himself, with theatergoers able to access their popcorn through the top of his skull. Yum. As for Nosferatu, the popcorn bucket tie-in for the vampire movie is – fittingly – a coffin, with your cinema snack beneath the lid rather than an undead body. You can see both buckets below.
These souvenirs join the likes ofDune 2’s infamous sandworm bucket andDeadpool and Wolverine’smore intentionally crude take, along with aXenomorph-shaped bucketto mark the release of Alien: Romulus and ahelmet for Gladiator 2.
Sonic 3 sees Shadow, voiced by Keanu Reeves, enter the mix alongside Ben Schwartz’s Sonic, Colleen O’Shaughnessey’s Tails, and Idris Elba’s Knuckles. James Marsden is also back as Sheriff Tom Wachowski, along with Jim Carrey as Dr. Eggman – and his grandfather, Gerald Robotnik.
Nosferatu is a new take on the classic vampire tale from The Witch director Robert Eggers, with Bill Skarsgård starring as the titular vampire alongside Lily-Rose Depp, Emma Corrin, Willem Dafoe, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
Sonic the Hedgehog arrives on the big screen on December 21, with Nosferatu following on December 25 in the US and January 3 in the UK. In the meantime, check out our guide to the rest of this year’s biggestmovie release dates.
