Regal Prop Shop and A24 have partnered on one of the most creative pieces of movie theater merch in recent memory: a Backrooms popcorn bucket you can 3D print at home for free.
The collectible container, designed by the Regal Prop Shop, is a miniaturized version of the hazmat-suited figure featured prominently in A24’s Backrooms marketing. The 3D print files are available now at no cost through Regal’s media library, and the design is detailed enough that fans have already been showing off painted versions online.
The real incentive is what happens when you bring it to the theater. Bring any 3D-printed version of the bucket to a Backrooms screening during opening weekend and Regal will give you a free small bag of popcorn. No purchase required for the bucket itself — just your printer, some yellow and black filament, and a little patience.
Regal is also running a giveaway for a pre-printed and painted version of the bucket. To enter, follow @regalmovies on Instagram, comment on the bucket post, and tag who you’re taking to see the film by May 29.
Backrooms opens in theaters May 29.
Our Take: This is the rare piece of movie merch that actually rewards fans for being fans. Giving away the files instead of selling an exclusive is a genuinely smart move — it gets the figure into more hands, generates real social content, and the free popcorn offer turns it into a reason to show up opening weekend rather than just a collectible flex. For anyone with a 3D printer already sitting on a desk, this is a no-brainer.
You can download the free 3D print files here and grab your tickets to Backrooms at Regal. For more movie theater popcorn bucket coverage, visit our Movie Theater Popcorn Buckets hub. Join the Realm at fantasylandnews.com/the-realm.
