(By the way, if you’re wondering what the difference is between a coffin and a sarcophagus, the former is an ancient burial box, while the latter is generally made of stone, decorated with carvings or inscriptions, and is often stored above ground – basically like a huge, enclosed gravestone.)

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

The sarcophagus marks the latest viral popcorn collectible that theater chains have created to boost their revenue, with the infamous dune Popcorn bucket is the most famous and the Deadpool and Wolverine Bucket is the naughtiest. The trend’s origins date back to AMC Theaters and Disney’s collaboration in 2019 to produce an R2-D2 popcorn and drink holder for the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker that sold out for $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.
