Remember those awesome themed popcorn buckets? Get ready for another one! The upcoming Minecraft movie is jumping on the concession novelty bandwagon with its own unique offerings, available during the film's theatrical run.
According to images shared by DiscussingFilm on X/Twitter (see below), the Minecraft movie will feature a TNT box popcorn bucket and a chicken jockey drink cup. These appear to be exclusive to Cinemark theaters in the US, but other theaters may have their own Minecraft themed concessions – we'll have to wait and see.

This Minecraft-themed merchandise continues a trend that started with 2019's Rise of Skywalker R2-D2 popcorn bucket. The viral success of that bucket sparked a new theatrical tradition – fun, perhaps a little overdone now, and definitely pricey – but one that clearly keeps audiences engaged with the theatrical experience.
