Remember those themed popcorn buckets? Of course you do. Well, get ready for more because the upcoming Minecraft movie is jumping on the consumer trend with its own concessions novelties that will be available during its theatrical run. According to images shared by DiscussingFilm on X / Twitter, the Minecraft movie will feature a unique TNT box popcorn bucket, paired with a chicken jockey drink container—a nod to the game's iconic elements. These items are exclusive to Cinemark theaters in the United States, but fans are eager to see what other theaters might offer for the Minecraft enthusiasts.

These Minecraft-themed novelties are the latest in a trend that has become a national phenomenon since the 2019 release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker with its R2-D2 popcorn bucket. The viral success of that bucket six years ago sparked a wave of excitement among theater executives, leading to a now well-established, albeit somewhat overdone and pricey, modern theatrical tradition. If these unique items can draw more people to the theaters for an immersive experience, it's a trend worth celebrating.
