As a seasoned film enthusiast who has spent countless hours in the dimly lit halls of cinemas, I must say that the themed popcorn buckets have truly elevated the moviegoing experience to new heights. From the sleek and stylish design of the “Barbie” bucket to the gritty, industrial feel of the “Alien: Romulus” container, each one has added a unique touch to my collection.
Attending movies has always been a special experience, but in recent times, moviegoers have an additional element to elevate their cinematic journey: themed popcorn buckets. From Barbie to Dune, Deadpool & Wolverine, Alien: Romulus, it seems like every big release now comes with its own custom popcorn bucket to amplify the movie-watching experience for fans. Upcoming film Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, hitting theaters next May, is no exception. However, the popcorn bucket for Mission: Impossible 8 will stand out as it was designed by none other than star Tom Cruise himself.
In an interview with Time, Rob Bennett, who oversees food and beverage product strategy at AMC, shared that Tom Cruise played a role in designing the popcorn bucket for their upcoming Mission: Impossible movie. Bennett didn’t disclose specific details, but did mention that whatever idea Cruise had will surely fit the film perfectly.
“But we nailed it,” Bennett said.
It’s no shock that Tom Cruise played a role in shaping the design of the popcorn bucket. Given his deep involvement in movies and commitment to providing audiences with an exceptional cinematic experience, it seems fitting that he would extend this dedication to the popcorn bucket as well. Interestingly, Cruise isn’t the only filmmaker who has lent his creative touch to movie-themed merchandise like popcorn buckets. In fact, director Tim Burton was part of the design process for a cup related to the Beetlejuice film, and James Cameron, creator of Avatar, will have final say over the popcorn bucket that will accompany the third Avatar movie set for release next year.
Why Are Popcorn Buckets So Popular?
From a cinephile’s perspective, I can’t help but ponder over the surge in popularity of themed popcorn buckets. In 2023 alone, these collectible concession vessels, specifically popcorn buckets, raked in an impressive $54 million for AMC. The allure lies in their ability to extend the cinematic experience beyond the theater.
Although enthusiasts must hold on until next year for Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible popcorn container to enhance their cinema experience, there are still some exciting popcorn containers to anticipate in the remainder of this year. For instance, the upcoming release of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, slated for December 19th, has unveiled a large bucket shaped like Sonic’s head as its film container. Additionally, The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim also boasts a unique popcorn bucket – a replica of the war hammer used in the movie, which could very well be the coolest popcorn bucket to surface this year.
Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning (and it’s popcorn bucket) hits theaters May 23, 2025.
