Dave Haywood, Cinemark’s Food and Beverage SVP, said National Popcorn Day is one of the best days of the year for the movie theatre chain and popcorn lovers everywhere.
“We are thrilled to mark this year’s celebration with our first ever ‘Bring Your Own Bucket’ event, in addition to limited time sweepstakes and promotions,” Haywood said in a release. “Popcorn has always been the star of movie theatre concessions, though popcorn vessels have become an award-winning supporting actor. We are excited for everyone to get creative with this campaign and show off their choice of container while enjoying the iconic snack alongside a great film.”
From iconic film-specific collectible buckets to favorite snack bowls and creative DIY art projects, Cinemark encourages all popcorn lovers to stop by their local theatre on Jan. 19. Everyone can participate for $5, and no movie ticket is required.
The popcorn container must be clean and cannot exceed 400 ounces. If the container meets the requirements, movie theatre employees will fill it to the brim with freshly made popcorn.
