Texas Movie Theaters Offer ‘Bring Your Own Bucket’ Deal for National Popcorn Day

Popcorn lovers in Texas have something exciting to look forward to this January! Cinemark, one of the largest movie theater chains in the world, is celebrating National Popcorn Day on Sunday, January 19, with a fun and unique deal that is sure to be a hit!

One of my favorite things to do as a young kid was go to the movies and indulge in popcorn and candy.

Bring Your Own Bucket. For just $5, moviegoers—and even those who aren’t catching a film—can fill up their containers with Cinemark’s warm, buttery popcorn.

The rules are simple and fun. Customers can bring any clean container of their choice, as long as it doesn’t exceed 400 ounces in size. Whether it’s a collectible movie-themed bucket, a family snack bowl, or a creatively decorated DIY container, Cinemark is ready to fill it with fresh popcorn. And here’s the best part: no movie ticket is required to take advantage of this deal. Just show up, bucket in hand, and enjoy!

For those who don’t have their container, Cinemark will also be offering $5 XL popcorn at all participating locations. Everyone gets to join in on the fun.

David Haywood, Cinemark’s Senior Vice President of Food & Beverage, shared his excitement about the promotion: “National Popcorn Day is one of the best days of the year at Cinemark and for 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 also highlighted the creativity behind the campaign, saying, “Popcorn has always been the star of movie theater concessions, though popcorn vessels have become an award-worthy 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.”

So mark your calendars for Sunday, January 19, and don’t forget to grab your favorite bucket. Whether you’re planning to watch a movie or just stopping by for a popcorn refill, Cinemark’s Bring Your Own Bucket deal promises a deliciously fun experience for all popcorn fans in Texas.
