Don't Worry, A Minecraft Movie Is Getting Its Own Popcorn Bucket Too

Remember themed popcorn buckets? Of course, you do. Well, the excitement continues as the upcoming Minecraft movie is set to delight fans with its own line of concessions novelties during its theatrical run. According to images shared by DiscussingFilm on X / Twitter, the Minecraft movie will feature a unique TNT box as its popcorn bucket, complemented by a chicken jockey drink container. These exclusive items will be available at Cinemark theaters across the United States, though other theaters may also offer special items for Minecraft enthusiasts. We'll need to stay tuned to find out what other surprises await.

These Minecraft-themed novelties are the latest addition to a trend that has captivated audiences since the 2019 release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which introduced the iconic R2-D2 popcorn bucket. The viral success of that bucket inspired theater executives to explore more themed merchandise, creating a fun, albeit somewhat repetitive and pricey, modern tradition. If these novelties encourage more people to enjoy the theatrical experience, it's a win in my book.
