The great popcorn bucket war of 2024 continues into the summer, and Illumination Entertainment is trying its hand at the latest trend with Despicable Me 4. Set to debut on July 2, 2024, the film joins the ranks of popcorn bucket greats with a limited edition collectable sure to make you feel like the greatest villain of all time.
What is the Despicable Me 4 popcorn bucket?
2024 has truly opened some truly magical doors when it comes to collectibles. Pokémon and Le Creuset joined to release some fashionable pocket-monster-inspired cookware, and every film since Dune Part 2 is trying to up the ante of insane collectible popcorn buckets in an attempt to get butts in theatre seats.
While we’re unlikely to see anything as magnificent as the dangerously-close-to-NSFW Deadpool & Wolverine bucket, Despicable Me 4 has gone for adorable practicality. Managing a load of concession goodies while trying to wrangle little ones could be an Olympic level sport, but this popcorn container offers a decent work around.
Unfortunately, the official and widely accessible popcorn bucket isn’t as magnificent as the limited edition one seen above, but it’s still pretty darn cute. The bucket is a simple yellow ball that can hold 85oz of popcorn and comes with a closeable lid. That right, the perfect little orb can be snapped shut. giving parents the rare chance to avoid wrestling with an unwieldy bucket, drinks, and kids. Though it’s best to ensure the little ones don’t try to play with it while it’s full.
