Memento popcorn buckets have exploded in reputation because the viral sensation that was the Dune: Half Two bucket, with theater chains like Cinemark, Regal, and AMC all offering their very own distinctive bucket designs for the most important films of the yr. Now, Regal has revealed the search for their Tron: Ares popcorn bucket, and we have seemingly reached the purpose the place it is much less about consuming popcorn out of it and extra about being as ridiculous in design as attainable.
Regal Cinemas is commemorating the discharge of Tron: Ares not simply with one, however two popcorn buckets— one which displays the long-lasting imagery of the Mild Cycles, and one other that seems like a throwback to the unique 1982 movie. The primary is a Crimson Mild Cycle popcorn bucket (which could be seen under), harking back to the one the rogue AI program Ares (Jared Leto) rides within the trailer for the film. The popcorn is seemingly saved at the back of the rider on the bucket, although, like lots of the different bucket designs in current reminiscence, it hardly seems like a sensible approach to retailer popcorn (I imply, it is not even in a bucket form).
The second bucket being launched by Regal feels rather more sensible, due to its retro design. Meant to appear to be an arcade machine, the boxy popcorn bucket seems to be like a Tron: Ares arcade sport, full with a joystick. Because of this extra sensible design, the bucket seems to be like it could actually maintain much more popcorn than the Mild Cycle bucket, whereas additionally nonetheless remaining true to the aesthetic of the film.
