Remember those themed popcorn buckets? Of course you do. Well, get ready for more. The upcoming Minecraft movie is jumping on the consumer trend bandwagon 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. These items are exclusive to Cinemark theaters in the United States, but other theaters may have their own Minecraft-themed surprises in store. We'll have to wait and see what they come up with.

These Minecraft-themed novelties are the latest in a trend that started with the viral R2-D2 popcorn bucket for 2019's Rise of Skywalker. That snack container's popularity six years ago sparked a wave of excitement among theater executives, leading to a fun yet somewhat overdone modern theatrical tradition. While these items can be pricey, if they encourage more people to enjoy the theatrical experience, it's a trend worth cheering for.
