Pick up the phone! Black Phone 2 collectibles arrive at theaters with spooky popcorn buckets, Grabber cups, and limited-edition merch.

Fans of The Black Phone universe are no strangers to the chills and mythology surrounding “The Grabber.” With the sequel, Black Phone 2, hitting theaters on October 16, 2025, promotional tie-ins and collectibles have already begun to turn heads. From rotary-phone popcorn buckets to “Grabber” cups and topper combos, the merch landscape for horror lovers is shaping up to be a memorable one. Using recent announcements from AMC, Regal, and Cinemark, here’s a closer look at what collectors can expect and how to decide what’s worth hunting down.

Black Phone 2 Collectibles: AMC Theatres Rotary Phone Popcorn Bucket

One of the most eye-catching items is the Black Phone 2 Rotary Phone Popcorn Bucket being offered at AMC theaters. Designed to resemble a Western Electric Model 500 wall phone, the bucket features a whole rotary dial aesthetic and an opening in the back to fill with popcorn. AMC confirmed that the bucket will include a large popcorn, adding extra value. The novelty of holding a popcorn bucket shaped like a phone is part of its appeal. It turns a movie snack into a prop-worthy keepsake. For horror fans, theatrical tie-ins like this add extra “role play” fun: you’re not just grabbing popcorn, you’re “answering the call.”

Regal’s Collector Combo: Tin, Cup & The Grabber Topper

Regal Cinemas is going big, offering a Black Phone 2 Collector’s Combo that bundles several pieces: a popcorn tin, a themed cup, and a collectible “Grabber” topper. The popcorn tin features the movie logo and stylized phone booth imagery. The cup features an illustration of The Grabber, and the topper is modeled after the Regal character cup, seated in a movie theater chair. For collectors, bundles like this offer a one-stop acquisition. Also, the thematic consistency makes the set more satisfying than assembling pieces from different sources.

Black Phone 2 Collectibles: Cinemark’s Grabber Grippr Cup

At Cinemark, the focus is on the Grabber Grippr Cup. This 32-ounce cup features a black body, red lid, and The Grabber’s face on the exterior, along with the Black Phone 2 logo. The cup is currently available, giving eager fans an early opportunity to own a piece of the merch lineup.

Which Collectible Is Right for You?

With three distinct offerings — AMC’s rotary phone bucket, Regal’s combo kit, and Cinemark’s gripper cup — collectors and fans of horror merch will have plenty to debate. Here are some quick thoughts:

• Visual impact & display value: The rotary phone bucket and Regal’s combo set are standouts. If you want something that looks like a prop, those are your best bets.
• Budget considerations: The gripper cup is the most affordable entry point. If you’re unsure how deep you want to go, it’s a safe starting point.
• Completeness: Regal’s combo handles much of the trilogy in one package (tin + cup + topper). It saves you hunting individual pieces.
• Availability & timing: AMC’s bucket goes on sale in theaters on October 16, so early attendance gives you a shot at snagging one. Regal’s set is also likely tied to opening-day distribution. The Cinemark cup is already rolling out.
• Collecting strategy: If you’re a completionist (no judgment!), getting one of each gives you a rich, tiered set. However, if you must choose, opt for the item that best suits your display space or fandom emphasis (such as a phone motif or Grabber face).

Black Phone 2 Collectibles: When Horror Merch Gets Creative

What’s notable about the Black Phone 2 collectibles rollout is how each theater chain is staking its claim with a stylistic twist. AMC leans into the vintage telephone motif; Regal offers curated bundles; Cinemark keeps it simple with a branded cup. Collectors benefit from choice but also from having to strategize which pieces to prioritize.

For horror fans, the storytelling doesn’t end when the credits roll. It also continues through the merchandise you bring home. Whether the phone bucket becomes a centerpiece on your shelf or the gripper cup becomes your go-to companion for concessions, these items let fans tangibly hold onto the world of Black Phone 2 long after the final scare.
