Remember themed popcorn buckets? Of course you do. Well, there’s more where those came from. The upcoming Minecraft movie is joining the consumer trend with concessions novelties of its own that will be available during the theatrical run.
According to images posted by DiscussingFilm on X / Twitter, below, the Minecraft movie will have a TNT box as its popcorn bucket, paired with a chicken jockey drink container (if you know, you know). It seems as though these items are exclusive to the Cinemark chain of theaters in the United States, but as for what other theaters are planning to debut for Minecraft fans, we’ll have to wait and see.

These Minecraft-centric novelties are just the latest in an ongoing trend that has been a national mainstay since 2019’s Rise of Skywalker R2-D2 popcorn bucket. The sheer virality of that snack receptacle six-plus years ago set the theater executives aflutter with potential, and a fun — albeit kind of done to death at this point, and quite expensive to boot — modern theatrical tradition was born. Hey, if it keeps folks coming out for the theatrical experience, I’m all for it.
