Minecraft Movie Gets Exclusive Popcorn Bucket

Remember those themed popcorn buckets that became all the rage? Well, the upcoming Minecraft movie is hopping on this popular trend with its own unique concessions novelties set to be available during its theatrical run. According to images shared by DiscussingFilm on X / Twitter, the Minecraft movie will feature a TNT box as its popcorn bucket, paired with a chicken jockey drink container—a nod that true fans will surely appreciate. These exclusive items are slated to be available at Cinemark theaters across the United States, although it remains to be seen what other theaters have in store for Minecraft enthusiasts.

These Minecraft-themed novelties are the latest in a trend that took off with the viral R2-D2 popcorn bucket from 2019's Rise of Skywalker. That bucket's popularity sparked a wave of creativity among theater chains, turning these collectibles into a fun, albeit somewhat overdone and pricey, modern tradition. If it encourages more people to enjoy the cinematic experience, it's certainly worth celebrating.
