Novelty Popcorn Buckets Unveiled in Theatres Nationwide for Ghostbuster: Frozen Empire Premiere!
As cinemas across the U.S. strive to regain momentum post-pandemic, recent blockbusters like Oppenheimer, Barbie, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie signal Hollywood’s resurgence. While the industry continues its path to recovery, theaters are reintroducing a beloved tradition: movie merch and SWAG.
Leading the charge is AMC, offering merch tie-ins to theatrical releases. Demand soared for Dune: Part Two’s iconic popcorn buckets, showcasing the enduring appeal of movie-related merchandise. Now, Ghostbusters News confirms that the trend continues, with theatres nationwide offering Slimer and ghost trap popcorn buckets ahead of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’s highly anticipated release.
Fans eagerly anticipated AMC’s release of highly detailed Slimer popcorn buckets alongside other Frozen Empire merchandise. Initially previewed at the AMC store, the product promised an anatomically accurate, translucent Slimer popcorn container that cleverly incorporated the character’s insatiable appetite by featuring popcorn going into (or out of) its mouth.
However, according to Ghostbusters News, the actual product failed to meet expectations, leading to its removal from the AMC store. Disappointed fans turned their attention to Cinemark, where a similar product is available featuring Slimer holding onto a plastic popcorn bag. Cinemark theaters exclusively offer this alternative Slimer popcorn bucket to satisfy fans’ cravings.
Get Ready to Capture the Flavor: Prop-Accurate Ghost Trap Popcorn Buckets!
Ghostbusters enthusiasts rejoice as AMC and Regal cinemas unveil their highly anticipated ghost trap popcorn buckets. These containers are meticulously designed to closely resemble the iconic film prop, featuring intricate metalwork and side knobs for an authentic touch.
But that’s not all – Regal’s ghost trap bucket goes above and beyond with lights and sounds, adding an extra layer of excitement to your movie snack experience. Meanwhile, AMC’s version includes a unique funnel-like side-flap attachment for added convenience.
In addition to these exciting offerings, both cinemas provide a range of Ghostbusters merchandise to enhance your moviegoing experience. Cinemark delights fans with drink tumblers, popcorn tubs, and adorable Slimer and Mini Puft plushies. Regal takes it a step further by offering 6″ sipper cups featuring Mini Puft toppers, ensuring there’s something for every Ghostbusters aficionado to enjoy.
Following the success of its predecessor, Afterlife, which served as a direct sequel to the beloved 1984 and 1989 Ghostbusters films, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire has been eagerly anticipated by fans. Both films achieved box office success, paving the way for the development of a third installment, which was ultimately scrapped.
Frozen Empire is poised to carry on the franchise’s revival, introducing a new generation of Ghostbusters while also welcoming back familiar faces. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Annie Potts are set to reprise their iconic roles from the original Ghostbusters movies.
Mark your calendars for the premiere of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire in theaters on Mar. 22.
