In the world of movie theaters, $5 is a rare gem when it comes to concession prices. Typically, you might get a small candy like Nerds Clusters, and that would leave you with barely enough change for the parking meter. When it comes to popcorn, you could purchase a small amount drenched in butter, but that hardly feels satisfying. However, on January 19th, Cinemark is inviting movie enthusiasts to enjoy as much of this beloved snack as they desire for an unbeatable price, making it a perfect way to celebrate National Popcorn Day with friends and family.

While January is usually a quieter time in the film industry, post-award season, the allure of popcorn is hard to resist, particularly if you have a chance to catch some potential awards contenders. Unless, of course, your heart is set on watching Henry Danger: The Movie. The exciting twist here is that you can fill nearly any container from your kitchen under this promotion. Cinemark has set some limits to keep things reasonable; for instance, no trash bags or wheelbarrows are allowed. However, you can bring a container that holds up to 400 ounces, which is approximately three times the capacity of the Gladiator II Colosseum bucket. Given that large popcorn typically costs around $12, this is a fantastic deal for those looking to satisfy their cravings.

We’re not here to endorse Cinemark, but let’s be honest—whenever a theater offers a great deal, especially on something many consider overpriced, it’s worth taking a closer look. Just a heads up, though: you can only fill your bucket once, so make that initial scoop count!

Regarding this delectable event, Cinemark’s Senior Vice President of Food & Beverage, David Haywood, remarked, “Popcorn has always been the star of movie theater concessions, though popcorn vessels have become an award-worthy supporting actor. We are excited for everyone to get creative with this campaign and show off their choice of container while enjoying the iconic snack alongside a great film.” It’s important to note that Cinemark reserves the right to refuse any containers deemed a potential health risk, so leave your organ transplant containers at home!
