Popcorn container for “Mufasa: The Lion King.”
Regal Cinemas
Movie-themed popcorn buckets were hot collectors’ items again in 2024, featuring creative containers for such films as Moana 2, Gladiator II, Deadpool & Wolverine and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
And as the year winds up there’s more on the way, starting Friday with a Sonic-themed popcorn bucket from Cinemark Theaters for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Regal Cinemas’ Pride Rock popcorn container for Mufasa: The Lion King.
Perhaps the most notable movie-themed popcorn bucket earlier in the year was AMC Theatres’ “popcorn vessel” for Dune: Part Two, which was released in March.
A popcorn bucket with a replica of the film’s sandworm atop it, the Dune: Part Two popcorn vessel received major attention thanks to a viral Saturday Night Live film short that had fun at the expense of the item’s suggestive design.

All jokes about it aside, Dune: Part Two’s popcorn wasn’t the only movie-themed theater novelty to feature a sandworm.
Thanks to the return of the Beetlejuice sandworm in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Regal Cinemas and AMC Theatres brought the iconic black-and-white striped creature to the concession stand in the form of a popcorn bucket.
See photos below of various popcorn buckets that appeared at Regal, AMC and Cinemark theaters in 2024. While some theaters had exclusive movie-themed popcorn buckets, most were available at different theaters including smaller chains like Emagine Entertainment’s theaters.
