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 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.
