[Update – 8/14/2025: The price of the Toxic Avenger popcorn bucket is surprisingly only $16.50, as revealed by Cinemark on Instagram. The tin is 90 ounces and holds enough for a medium popcorn (which is included). It’s only available at select theaters, so if we recommend calling the Regal cinemas closest to you to make sure it’s in stock. The original story follows.]
[Original] Arriving soon at Cinemark is The Toxic Avenger popcorn bucket, which will be more than just a generic pail with art on the front. It’s taken a few years for the superhero reboot, starring Peter Dinklage as the titular hero, to be released in theaters due to its gore. But the film is finally coming at the end of August 2025, and despite its low box office projections, it looks like Cinemark is the only theater chain in the United States that will be promoting the movie with a novelty vessel. Here’s what we know so far about the release date for The Toxic Avenger popcorn bucket and how much it’s expected to cost.
What is the release date and price of The Toxic Avenger 2025 popcorn bucket?
The expected release date for The Toxic Avenger popcorn bucket is August 29, 2025 at the latest. The estimated price is around $30 to $40 based on how much Cinemark typically charges for its popcorn buckets this year.
Cinemark Theatres revealed the movie’s popcorn bucket in a post on X (formerly Twitter), showing off an appropriate tin shaped like a nuclear waste barrel in a short 15-second video. The largely orange vessel has “The Toxic Avenger” emblazoned on the front in a black font and has artwork of green sludge pouring from the top of the lid, which has the yellow-and-black symbol for nuclear waste. On the back is what seems to be the black superhero logo for Toxie, a black skull with two crisscrossed mops, mimicking the familiar pirate motif.
The bucket itself looks rather hefty and can be barely held in one hand. The inside of the bucket is colored light green and has a dark green version of the film’s skull logo printed at the bottom of the can. While some popcorn vessels can get as expensive as $60-80, The Toxic Avenger container doesn’t look particularly intricate and likely won’t cost as much as a DC or Marvel bucket as far as licensing is concerned.
It’s possible that this popcorn bucket might be available for pre-order several days before August 29, so it’s worth keeping track of the Cinemark storefront as we head toward the movie’s release.
