Forgotten Island is getting its own popcorn bucket lineup, led by a Boombox Tin, a Bungi Tumbler, and a two-piece BFF Charm Bracelet Set, all confirmed for Swan Drive-In and AMC ahead of the film’s September 25 release.
We first covered these three items when Swan added them to its lineup alongside Avengers: Endgame Encore and Wildwood. Swan’s release timing has shifted since then and now looks to land closer to when Forgotten Island ticket sales open in September, but the lineup itself is confirmed.
The Boombox Tin is styled as a retro cassette boombox with a purple carrying handle and a hand-painted look, complete with a “Property of Jo” label and a mixtape graphic reading “BFF Mix #127,” priced at $29.95. The Bungi Tumbler is shaped like Bungi, one of the island’s mythological creatures, with a straw built into the top of its head, priced at $24.95. The Charm Bracelet Set of 2 rounds things out at $19.95, with matching pink and blue bracelets built around BFF beads, a cowrie shell, a mini cassette tape, a guitar pick, and an incense stick charm, clearly meant to be split between two friends rather than worn by one person.
AMC has already confirmed its own version of the Boombox Tin will be available in theaters when Forgotten Island opens, so this design isn’t exclusive to Swan. What’s still unclear is whether AMC will carry the Bungi Tumbler or the charm bracelets, or if those stay Swan exclusives.
Forgotten Island opens in theaters nationwide on September 25. General ticket sales haven’t been confirmed yet, though advance screenings are already being scheduled ahead of release, including one at AMC NorthPark 15 on September 22, so a wider on-sale date announcement in the next couple of days would track with how most fall releases have rolled out this year.
The BFF bracelet set is the smartest piece of this whole lineup. A boombox tin and a character tumbler are the kind of thing any animated release gets, but building a two-piece bracelet set around a movie that’s literally about two best friends fighting to hold onto their memories together is the rare bit of merch that actually understands what the film is about.
