"Minecraft Movie to Feature Exclusive Popcorn Bucket"

Remember themed popcorn buckets? Of course you do! The upcoming Minecraft movie is embracing this consumer trend with unique concessions novelties set to enhance the theatrical experience during its run. According to images shared by DiscussingFilm on X / Twitter, the Minecraft movie will feature a TNT box as its popcorn bucket and a chicken jockey drink container, exclusive to Cinemark theaters in the United States. While these items cater specifically to Cinemark patrons, other theaters may have their own surprises in store for Minecraft fans.

These Minecraft-themed novelties are part of a trend that has captivated moviegoers since the R2-D2 popcorn bucket for 2019’s Rise of Skywalker. The viral success of that bucket sparked a new, albeit somewhat overdone and pricey, tradition in cinemas. However, if these themed items encourage more people to enjoy the theatrical experience, they're certainly welcome.
