The Resident Evil popcorn bucket, a green organ-transplant cooler with a bloody first-aid cross, was $24.99 at AMC and $19.95 at Cinemark online, where both pre-orders have ended and ship starting December 8. On eBay, resellers now list December pre-orders they placed at $69.99 to $175, and bags marked in hand at $124.99 to $250.
The bag is the same at AMC, Regal, and Cinemark. It is a soft green medical cooler with a shoulder strap, a white first-aid cross, a spray of red across the front, and the printed lines “Handle with Care,” “Keep Cool – Do Not Freeze,” and “ORGAN TRANSPLANT.” It looks like something a courier would use to move a spare kidney, not a tub of popcorn.
What the Resident Evil popcorn bag sells for on eBay
On October 28, most eBay listings for the bag were presales, pre-orders the sellers placed at AMC and Cinemark that ship in December, listed at $69.99 to $175. Bags marked in hand, ready to ship, were listed at $124.99 to $250. Those are asking prices, not completed sales. On September 30, before the presales, Buy It Now listings ran $199.99 to $250, and one auction reached $200 with 60 bids. For comparison, the Universal Studios Japan Licker bucket, a park exclusive sold for 5,500 yen, is listed on eBay at $154 to $329.89.
The theater is still the cheaper way to get one. Regal still offers the bag in theaters when you see Resident Evil, with a large popcorn.
Price and where to get it
- AMC: AMC’s online store listed it at $24.99 as the Resident Evil Medical Courier Popcorn Bucket, with a limit of three per customer. On October 28, its listing said the pre-order had ended and orders ship starting December 8. In theaters, AMC sells it with popcorn as the Critical Cargo Bag, part of its “Thrills & Chills” promotion, starting September 17 while supplies last. Gourmet popcorn is excluded.
- Cinemark: Cinemark’s online store listed it at $19.95 as the Resident Evil Medical Courier Popcorn Bucket Bag, also with a limit of three per customer. On October 28, it also said the pre-order had ended and orders ship starting December 8. In theaters, Cinemark calls it the Medical Courier Replica Bag.
- Regal: Regal sells the Resident Evil Organ Transplant Popcorn Bag in theaters when you see Resident Evil, and it comes with a large popcorn. Regal has not published a price.
Both online listings give the same specs. The bag holds 200 ounces, measures 9.5 by 6.25 by 6.75 inches, and is hand wash only.
Regal’s Resident Evil promotions page also has a Raccoon City Refresher, a vodka cocktail for guests 21 and older, and a sweepstakes for a trip to Los Angeles.
Why an organ transplant cooler
The design is not a random gross-out. In Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil, Austin Abrams plays Bryan, a medical courier making a drop-off at Raccoon City General hospital when the night falls apart around him. A bloodied organ-transplant cooler is his in-story bag, which is why AMC’s post joked, “One Job: Deliver the Popcorn.”
Cregger’s R-rated reinvention of the video-game series opened in theaters September 18, after preview showings September 17, and was filmed for IMAX. It opened at No. 1 with $60,152,878 across 3,684 theaters, the biggest opening in the Resident Evil film franchise, per Box Office Mojo. It reached $105,285,873 domestic through September 28, already past the previous franchise high, Resident Evil: Afterlife’s $60,128,566, and $199,272,300 worldwide. Cregger has called it “a very bloody affair,” which the popcorn bag seems happy to advertise.
Resident Evil is out to watch at home now on digital, per Sony’s page for the film, and Walmart lists the 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD for Dec. 29.
This is the same theater-collectible wave that gave Regal an Insidious lipstick-face demon head earlier this season, and it is not the first Resident Evil popcorn vessel of the year. Universal Studios Japan turned the franchise into a Licker popcorn bucket worn on the back, sold at the park for 5,500 yen. Movie and park popcorn holders have become a collectible craze, and horror is right in the middle of it.
