Remember those themed popcorn buckets that were all the rage? 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 U.S., but we'll have to wait and see what other theaters have planned for Minecraft fans.

This Minecraft-themed merchandise follows 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—though perhaps a slightly overdone and expensive one—that clearly keeps audiences engaged with the cinematic experience. And hey, if it works, it works!
