Remember themed popcorn buckets? Of course you do. Well, get ready for more because the upcoming Minecraft movie is joining the consumer trend with its own unique concessions novelties 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, paired with a chicken jockey drink container—an exciting nod to the game's beloved elements. These items are set to be exclusive to the Cinemark chain of theaters in the United States. As for what other theaters have in store for Minecraft fans, we'll have to wait and see.

These Minecraft-themed novelties are the latest addition to a trend that became a national sensation with the 2019 release of Rise of Skywalker's R2-D2 popcorn bucket. The viral success of that snack container over six years ago inspired theater executives to embrace this fun, albeit somewhat overdone and pricey, modern theatrical tradition. If these unique items keep audiences excited about the cinematic experience, I'm all for it.
