According to images shared by DiscussingFilm on X / Twitter, the Minecraft movie is set to feature a TNT box as its popcorn bucket and a chicken jockey drink container, catering specifically to fans of the game. These items are slated to be exclusive to Cinemark theaters in the United States, though what other theaters might have in store for Minecraft enthusiasts remains to be seen.

These Minecraft-themed novelties are the latest in a trend that began with the viral R2-D2 popcorn bucket for 2019's Rise of Skywalker. The success and widespread attention that bucket received set off a wave of themed concessions across theaters, a tradition that continues to draw moviegoers for the unique theatrical experience. Despite being somewhat overdone and pricey, these novelties certainly add an exciting element to movie outings.
