‘M3GAN 2.0’ Gets Popcorn Bucket and Drink Cup Topped With M3GAN Figurine at Regal Theaters

Published

on

Alamo Drafthouse kicked off the morning with the reveal of their M3GAN 2.0 collectible popcorn bucket, a replica of the killer doll’s head that quite literally opens up to reveal handfuls of buttery popcorn inside. It’s no doubt going to end up being the coolest theater collectible for this year’s horror sequel, but Regal will also be offering up their own M3GAN treats.

The M3GAN 2.0 Collectible Combo at Regal theaters this Summer will include a popcorn container topped with a fierce M3GAN figurine as well as a matching drink cup.

The theater chain will also be serving up the special “M3GAN’s Peach Protocol” cocktail (21+ only), which is a pink peach whiskey sour garnished with a lemon slice.

Grab your tickets from Regal now.

M3GAN 2.0 slays into theaters on June 27 from Universal.

Director Gerard Johnstone and writer Akela Cooper are back for the follow-up to their 2023 film along with producers James Wan of Atomic Monster and Jason Blum of Blumhouse.

Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN’s creator Gemma has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma’s niece Cady, now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma’s overprotective rules.

Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia, the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelia’s self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around…

With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal. As their paths collide, the original A.I bitch is about to meet her match.

‘Obsession’ Is Now Officially the Highest Grossing Horror Movie of 2026!

Published

on

Curry Barker’s Obsession has been on a generational run at the box office these last several weeks, with the incredible word-of-mouth driving the box office totals higher and higher and higher with each passing week. After a debut weekend of $17 million, Obsession made a whopping $23 million in its second weekend, and then scared up $26.4 million in its third weekend. In its fourth weekend, Obsession just scared up another $25.6 million in the U.S.!

Deadline notes in a report this morning, “Obsession reps the biggest fourth weekend ever for a horror movie ahead of 1999’s Blair Witch Project which did $24.3M.”

Worldwide, Obsession is now the highest grossing movie in history for Focus Features. The current worldwide total is $224.7 million, while the domestic total is $152.1 million.

That also makes Obsession the highest grossing horror movie of 2026, far exceeding the $207.9 million worldwide total ($121.9 million domestically) of Scream 7 earlier this year!

Yes, the highest grossing horror movie of 2026 is an ORIGINAL HORROR MOVIE!

The best part? The production budget for Obsession was just $750,000, with Focus Features acquiring the film for a reported $15 million. Even when you factor in the marketing spend and the fact that theaters get their own sizable cut, this one is a MASSIVE win for Focus.

From A24 and director Kane Parsons, Backrooms is already nipping at the heels of that record after just a couple weeks in release. The current domestic total of Backrooms is $135 million, while the worldwide total is now sitting at a very healthy $212.6 million. That means Backrooms has also already surpassed Scream 7, and may soon pass Obsession as well.

In Curry Barker’s theatrical debut Obsession, after breaking the mysterious One Wish Willow to win his crush’s heart, a hopeless romantic finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price.

Inde Navarrette (“Superman & Lois”) and Michael Johnston (“Teen Wolf”) star.
