Cinemark is commemorating the upcoming release of Scream 6 in a big way by selling a collectible popcorn bucket inspired by the film.
According to iHorror, the promotional item will resemble Ghostface’s mask with the iconic phrase, “Do you like scary movies?” written on the back. In addition to the popcorn bucket, the publication states that moviegoers could also get their hands on a blood-splattered cup and plush toy.
Although it is reported that Ghostface’s mask popcorn bucket is selling at any local Cinemark theater for only $15 because of the popular demand, many are reselling the item online on eBay for about as low as $47. At the same time, the highest price is $252 for all three items.
As news regarding the collectors items began circulating online, which resulted in it selling out in various Cinemark locations, many Twitter users expressed their feelings regarding the situation.
One user felt duped by the idea that the popcorn was sold out, despite the movie having yet to release in theaters.
At the same time, another individual revealed the lengths they would take if they didn’t get the collectible popcorn bucket.
A third social media user mentioned how upset they were that they couldn’t get a popcorn bucket and bashed the resellers for selling the items for a ridiculous price.
While a person claimed that Cinemark is missing out on the potential of earning more revenue because the company decided to sell Scream merchandise weeks before the movie premiere rather than opening night.
The collectible items for Scream 6 are currently being sold at Cinemark. To get your nearest location, go on Cinemark’s website. They’re probably sold out, though.
Scream 6 will premiere in theaters on March 10.
