It’s time to click your heels twice for these Wicked for Good popcorn buckets, which have been revealed nearly all at once by multiple theater chains including AMC, Regal, Cinemark, Marcus, and Alamo Drafthouse. We mentioned several of these novelty popcorn buckets earlier, particularly a few regular containers from Cinemark and another that’s shaped like an Emerald City hot air balloon.
Since then, the amount of popcorn tins (not to mention numerous collectible cups) for the upcoming sequel have more than tripled. We still have quite a lot of time before Wicked for Good comes out nationwide on November 21, 2025, so we will continue to update this guide with prices and release dates until then. Here’s a breakdown of every limited-time popcorn bucket for Wicked for Good that will be available for sale.
What are all the Wicked For Good popcorn buckets?
So far, there are five premium popcorn buckets for Wicked For Good, but more may be revealed later. A slew of standard buckets, at least six, from each theater chain have appeared as well. It’s expected that all of these buckets will be available within a week before the official release date of the movie on November 21, especially since there will be early screenings when they will want fans to purchase their merchandise.
Emerald City Popcorn Bucket
This Emerald City popcorn collectible has been featured at AMC Theatres and Cinemark so far, which suggests that this won’t be a theater-exclusive container. Cinemark has priced this bucket at $47.95 in an official post on Instagram, so we imagine that AMC will follow suit by putting a price tag of $45 to $50.
This is one of the few premium buckets for the movie where we get to see both the front and the back. Completed etched in green, the front of the container looks like a detailed bas-relief of the city with its iconic gate and numerous towers. Turning the bucket will reveal the large lidless space that can be filled with popcorn.
At the time of writing, it’s unclear how large this container will be, but Cinemark has revealed that it will come with an XL popcorn (with a same-day free refill) that is 200 ounces. Either way, the shape of the bucket makes it great for display on a shelf.
AMC Glinda Light-Up Bubble Popcorn Bucket
AMC is also showing off this Light-Up Bubble popcorn bucket that has Glinda, as played by Ariana Granda, standing on her levitating plate within a magical bubble. This container, which looks like it may be exclusive to AMC, harkens back to Glinda’s grand entrance in the 2024 Wicked movie.
Better yet, the globe-like container light up from the center of the base. A video of the bucket from an Instagram post by the theater chain shows that the light will make the pink, translucent figurine of Glinda become purple. It’s a bit unclear where the popcorn can be placed (and whether fans would want buttered popcorn to stain the container in the first place.)
At any rate, AMC has placed this bucket alongside the Emerald City one in various graphics, so we expect that they will be similar in size.
Regal Popcorn Music Box
The premium Wicked For Good popcorn bucket from Regal will be this finely detailed music box. Not much is known about the exact size or price for this container, but it looks like it will fit a medium-sized popcorn and will cost somewhere between $30 and $40 given similar collectibles from the chain.
The turquiose box has musical notes and icons of Glinda and Elphaba on the outside while the lid is a deeper blue color and has a small oval mirror on the inside cover. Two small figurines of the pair of witches stand in front of the mirror. It’s unclear if this music box is functional as a music box, but hopefully we’ll know more soon.
AMC Grimmerie Popcorn Bucket
While this Grimmerie popcorn bucket might seem like an odd shape, it is meant to look like the spellbooks in the Wicked movies. It may not be the most premium option from AMC, but we still estimate this to cost between $30 and $40.
From the images, it looks like a two-in-one, faux-wood container that comes with a lock and opens into two separate vessels. The main difference between the two are the inside of the lids, one that has a star-shaped magical sigil and the other with a drawing of a hand. (The image on the right also shows a peek of the regular popcorn buckets from AMC but more on those later.)
Cinemark Glinda & Elphaba Popcorn Buckets
We must admit that the image from Cinemark on this pair of Glinda and Elphaba popcorn buckets are rather small. Still, they have a similar style to the Emerald City bucket in that the front screen shows off the main figurines to hide the back of the container where the popcorn can be poured in.
As the image reveals, both of these character-designed buckets will cost $34.95 each. The Glinda bucket shows the witch in pink dress with a purple sheer overlay and a white tiara in front of a pink screen. Meanwhile, the Elphaba one has the character in her signature black dress behind a dark green screen whose frame looks like liquid. Both buckets feature a small picture of Emerald City as well.
Given that it’s meant to fit an XL popcorn, it should be roughly the same size as the Emerald City bucket as well.
Standard Wicked Popcorn Bucket List
Since nearly every theater chain will have their own regular popcorn bucket for Wicked For Good, we’ll share a list of links to them for the sake of brevity.
- Marcus Theatres
- AMC Theatres
- Cinemark has two options – a popcorn tin for $16.95 and another as part of the Super Ticket package
- Regal has two options as well – one for Glinda and another for Elphaba
- Alamo Drafthouse says that it will be offering a collectible popcorn bucket too, though the “blanket emblazoned with the map of Oz” looks to be more interesting (and cozy) collectible
