A lot of fans are searching for the Predator Badlands popcorn bucket that’s shaped like the ship from the upcoming movie. Directed by Dan Tractenberg, this new entry in the Predator franchise is slated to release nationwide on November 7, 2025. Both Regal and Cinemark have featured this popcorn bucket on their social media, though it is possible that other theater chains like AMC could follow suit over the coming weeks. Here’s what we know so far about how much this Predator ship popcorn bucket will cost and when it will be available for sale.
What is the price and release date of the Predator Badlands popcorn bucket?
The Predator Badlands popcorn bucket featuring the movie’s scout ship is expected to cost at least $40 at Regal and Cinemark and will be up for sale on November 7 at the latest (though there’s evidence that it could be November 5 instead).
The $40 price tag for the container has been confirmed through a post by Cinemark on X (formerly Twitter). This will likely be the price point for Regal as well, but it’s possible that might be pricier there. Cinemark notes that the bucket will come with an XL popcorn and a same-day refill.
While November 7 is the official release date for the film, there are early screenings available for the movie on November 5 at Cinemark, Regal, and elsewhere. So it’s likely that this Predator ship bucket will be available for sale then, giving fans the opportunity to purchase it before they are sold out.
As for the bucket itself, it’s a gray replica of what seems to be a scout ship that the new Predator protagonist pilots in the movie. A figurine of the character walking out of the ship with his blue cape and helmet is included. The lid on top of the ship is fairly big, so it looks easy to pour popcorn into it. While it’s unclear how big the container is (we will hopefully get a candid photo or video of it soon), it comes with an XL popcorn that is 200 ounces at Cinemark, so hopefully it’s large enough to fit all of that.
Given that both Cinemark and Regal will be selling this popcorn bucket, it doesn’t look exclusive, so we might see it in stock at other theaters too.
