Remember those themed popcorn buckets? Of course, you do! The excitement is ramping up as the upcoming Minecraft movie taps into this popular trend with its own unique concessions novelties set to enhance the theatrical experience during its run.

Images shared by DiscussingFilm on X / Twitter have unveiled that the Minecraft movie will feature a TNT-themed popcorn bucket, perfectly complemented by a chicken jockey drink container. These exclusive items are set to be available at Cinemark theaters across the United States. While it's uncertain what other theaters might offer for Minecraft enthusiasts, fans can look forward to discovering more as the release date approaches.

These Minecraft-inspired novelties continue the trend that became a national phenomenon with the R2-D2 popcorn bucket from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in 2019. The viral success of that bucket inspired theater chains to embrace themed concessions, creating a fun, albeit now somewhat ubiquitous and pricey, tradition that draws moviegoers to the cinematic experience. If it keeps audiences engaged and excited, then it's definitely a winning strategy.
