The popcorn bucket wars have taken on a literal twist thanks to Cinemark’s latest entry for Gladiator II. Shaped like the Roman colosseum, this new bucket not only holds popcorn but also features an augmented reality gladiator battle when you scan a QR code on the bottom. The tagline “you can eat war” adds to the cheesy ad copy, fittingly matching the theme of the bucket. This entry follows in the footsteps of other movie-themed buckets like Dune and Deadpool, but sets itself apart with its interactive features. While the AR animation may not be top-tier, the unique design and functionality of the Gladiator II bucket make it a must-have for collectors. Coming soon, just in time for the movie’s release on November 22.
