Remember those themed popcorn buckets? Of course, you do! Well, the upcoming Minecraft movie is diving into this popular consumer trend with its own unique concessions novelties 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 and a chicken jockey drink container. These exclusive items will be available at Cinemark theaters across the United States. While other theaters' plans for Minecraft fans remain under wraps, anticipation is building.

These Minecraft-themed novelties continue a trend that began with the viral R2-D2 popcorn bucket from 2019's Rise of Skywalker. The success of that bucket six years ago sparked a wave of excitement among theater executives, leading to a modern tradition that, while perhaps a bit overdone and pricey, continues to draw audiences to theaters. If it encourages more people to enjoy the cinematic experience, it's a trend worth celebrating.
