Lord of the Rings Is About to Get the Best Popcorn Bucket Yet

As a lifelong fanatic of Middle-earth and its inhabitants, I must admit that this year’s popcorn bucket race has been nothing short of exhilarating. However, it is with great enthusiasm that I declare The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim‘s colossal war hammer popcorn bucket as the undisputed champion.


In the ongoing fight for the most impressive popcorn container, the upcoming movie “The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim” has joined the fray with a truly remarkable entry. Movie-goers have been delighted by a variety of creative buckets such as those filled with double entendres like those for “Dune: Part Two” and “Deadpool & Wolverine”, a high-tech Colosseum style container for “Gladiator II”, and even a real Bat-signal for the return of Batman to cinemas. Despite the ingenuity of this year’s containers, “War of the Rohirrim” has managed to outshine them all.

The new popcorn bucket was revealed on social media, and is easily the largest bucket this year. Those watching the film in AMC theaters can pick up their very own replica of a war hammer used in the movie. Measuring a whopping 27 inches in length, the hammer’s head opens up into a large sized popcorn bucket. The popcorn hammer (bucket feels like an understatement) costs $32.99 plus tax.

For those who find handling a hammer during the 134-minute span of “War of the Rohirrim” exhausting, AMC offers an appealing solution in the form of a custom drinking cup. This cup, designed to resemble a wooden stein, bears the movie’s logo on its side. The price is $21.99 (plus tax). For those who wish to collect both the hammer and the stein, a combo deal is available at $49.99. Keep in mind that, just like other special popcorn containers, supplies are limited.

Under the guidance of director Kenji Kamiyama (known for his work on Eden of the East and Blade Runner: Black Lotus), The War of the Rohirrim boasts an impressive ensemble voice cast.

In addition, Luke Pasqualino, Miranda Otto, Lorraine Ashbourne, Shaun Dooley, and Alex Jordan are also part of the stellar cast. The late, esteemed Christopher Lee will make a posthumous appearance as Saruman the White in The War of the Rohirrim, utilizing archival footage and recordings from The Hobbit trilogy.

The extraordinary popcorn bucket from the movie “War of the Rohirrim” has been a sensation online. Just like other unique novelty buckets released this year, some admirers are thrilled that studios keep outdoing each other in terms of design. One user exclaimed, “NEED IT,” while another said, “Wow, I love it!” Nevertheless, the bucket has its critics. It appears that providing moviegoers with a 2-foot long replica war hammer may not have been the wisest decision. One enthusiast joked, “Can’t wait to use my 27-inch War Hammer replica popcorn bucket to brawl with fellow cinema-goers,” while another is eagerly anticipating any potential mishaps, stating, “Can’t wait for the videos of theater fights.
