Regal is bringing a little Capitol style to the concession stand with an exclusive The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping Book Tin, giving fans a new collectible to hunt down before the next trip to Panem. The pink, book-shaped popcorn tin arrives at select Regal theaters on November 18, two days before the movie opens nationwide.
Regal announced the collection on social media with a fitting message for fans: “May The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping merch be ever in your favor.” The Book Tin is a Regal-exclusive collectible and comes with a large popcorn. Availability is limited, so fans will need to check their local theaters rather than assume every Regal location will carry it. We don’t want you crying at concessions when the Reaping doesn’t go in your favor.
The tin is designed to resemble a storybook, with the film’s title on the cover and colorful artwork featuring a snake, a bird, and flowers. The floral design continues along the spine, giving the collectible the look of a decorative book rather than a standard movie theater popcorn container. It is the centerpiece of a larger collection tied to the upcoming prequel.
Regal is also offering a themed popcorn bucket and matching drink cup, decorated with the movie’s snake-and-bird artwork and surrounded by flowers. The combo is pictured with popcorn and soda. A branded fleece blanket rounds out the merchandise lineup for fans who want something beyond the usual concession stand souvenir.
The collection begins arriving at select Regal locations on November 18, 2026, while supplies last. Regal has not announced prices or published a list of participating theaters in the available announcement. Fans can check the official Regal movie page for showtimes and ticket information.
What Is The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping About?
The new merchandise is tied to the sixth film in the Hunger Games franchise, which returns to theaters on November 20. Based on Suzanne Collins’ 2025 novel of the same name, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping travels back 24 years before Katniss Everdeen’s story to explore the origins of her future mentor, Haymitch Abernathy.
Joseph Zada plays the younger Haymitch, who is selected for the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell. The anniversary event is particularly brutal because twice the usual number of tributes are taken from their homes and forced into the Capitol’s deadly competition. Haymitch enters the arena alongside fellow District 12 tributes, including Maysilee Donner, played by Mckenna Grace.
The film’s cast also includes Whitney Peak, Jesse Plemons, Elle Fanning, Maya Hawke, Kieran Culkin, Glenn Close, Billy Porter, Kelvin Harrison Jr., and Ralph Fiennes as President Snow. Francis Lawrence, who directed the franchise’s films beginning with The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, returns to direct from a screenplay adapted by Billy Ray.
The prequel revisits a defining chapter in Panem’s history, showing the Games that helped shape Haymitch long before he became the hard-drinking, reluctant mentor audiences first met in The Hunger Games. The story offers a look at the political machinery behind the spectacle and the brutal rules imposed on the districts.
Tickets are available through Regal, with the film scheduled to open in theaters and IMAX on November 20, 2026. For fans planning a trip to see the movie, the Book Tin and its matching collectibles offer an additional reason to arrive early. Just remember that, unlike the tributes, shoppers will not get a guaranteed second chance if their local theater runs out.
