Remember those themed popcorn buckets that were all the rage? Get ready for another one! The upcoming Minecraft movie is jumping on the bandwagon with its own line of collectible concessions.
According to images shared by DiscussingFilm on X (formerly Twitter), shown 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 other theaters may have their own Minecraft themed goodies – we'll have to wait and see!

This follows a trend started by the wildly popular Rise of Skywalker R2-D2 popcorn bucket in 2019. That viral sensation sparked a new theatrical tradition—fun, maybe a little overdone now, and definitely pricey—but hey, if it keeps people going to the movies, who are we to complain?
