Remember those themed popcorn buckets? Of course you do! The excitement is building as the upcoming Minecraft movie jumps on this popular trend with its own unique concessions novelties, set to be 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, complemented by a chicken jockey drink container—a treat that any Minecraft fan will recognize. These exclusive items are slated for the Cinemark chain of theaters in the United States, but keep an eye out for what other theaters might have in store for Minecraft enthusiasts.

These Minecraft-themed novelties are the latest in a trend that has captivated audiences since the 2019 release of Rise of Skywalker with its iconic R2-D2 popcorn bucket. The viral success of that bucket sparked a wave of excitement among theater executives, leading to a fun, albeit somewhat overdone and pricey, modern tradition in cinemas. If these unique offerings encourage more people to enjoy the theatrical experience, then it's a win in my book.
