There’s no feeling quite like heading to your fave movie theater with your bestie or S.O. After all, this current movie season is offering some amazing films for cinema lovers of all kinds. If you’re a fan of musicals, look no further than the blockbuster adaptation of Wicked starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Or, if you’re a horror nerd and vampire fanatic, you probably already secured your tickets to Nosferatu. (It’s a bloody good time.) Maybe, you’re searching for a steamy and super NSFW flick with Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson in Babygirl. (That milk scene? Sheesh!) But what’s a solid viewing experience without a few Buncha Crunches and a big bucket of popcorn?
On Sunday, January 19, Cinemark theaters are celebrating National Popcorn Day with one of their best deals yet: bring-your-own bucket day. So, if you celebrate 7-Eleven’s Bring Your Own Cup Day annually, this is definitely right up your alley. Here’s what to know about the Cinemark BYO Bucket. P.S.: This is the perfect time to re-use your Dune: Part Two, The Eras Tour, Mean Girls, etc. popcorn buckets.
When is Cinemark’s BYO Bucket event happening?
Cinemark’s BYO Bucket is happening at participating locations on January 19, 2025, in celebration of National Popcorn Day.
Is there a limit on how big my bucket can be?
All containers must be 400 ounces or less. This is equivalent to two XL popcorn buckets. This is equivalent to a little more than three gallons or about 50 cups. That means you can fill up this office trashcan full of popcorn on January 19. Don’t forget to ask for extra butter.
How much do I have to pay for BYO Bucket Day?
All you need is $5 to eat up to 400 ounces of popcorn. To put this into perspective, a medium popcorn at Cinemark often costs more than $8, per DoorDash data. So, popcorn-obsessed people need to get out to their nearest Cinemark on this day because this will be their SuperBowl.
Do I need a movie ticket to secure this popcorn deal?
NO! You don’t even need to be seeing a movie to secure this amazing deal. Just head up to your concession stand to secure your $5 popcorn bucket.
If I forget my own container, do I have to pay full price?
You will still get the deal. The movie theater chain is selling $5 XL popcorn buckets to celebrate National Popcorn Day.
Is Cinemark offering any other deals?
