Regal’s New $45 The SpongeBob Movie Combo Popcorn Bucket & Sipper Looks Familiar! Regal just dropped its exclusive popcorn bucket and sipper combo for The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, the SpongeBob Popcorn Bucket and Drink Cup Combo for $44.99. It’s a large, 3D collectible that features SpongeBob himself. SpongeBob is sitting in a big, grey movie theater chair, wearing a little pirate hat with a skull and crossbones. He’s got a tiny bucket of popcorn in one hand and a blue drink cup in the other. But it does look very familiar.
The popcorn bucket is the chair itself, and the drink sipper fits into the cupholder. It’s a fun piece that lets SpongeBob enjoy the movie right along with you. Right now, this SpongeBob combo is an exclusive in Regal Theatres.
This exclusive even has celebrities wanting it! Mark Hamill, aka The Joker from the Animated Batman Series, oh, and some guy named Luke Skywalker from a galaxy far, far away, responded to Regal’s social media post saying, “I very much need this asap.“
The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants is set to arrive in theaters on December 19. As with most of these big movie collectibles, they usually start selling them in the theaters first.
If you can’t get to a Regal right away, here’s what typically happens: These items often become available online closer to the movie’s actual release date. Keep an eye on Regal’s website as December 19 approaches if you want to snag one without going into the theater. But for now, if you want this The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants SpongeBob Popcorn Bucket and Sipper Combo for your shelf, you have to hit up your local Regal.
Looking for what other movie theaters’ popcorn buckets and collectibles are for The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants?
If you’ve been collecting these Regal exclusives for a while, you might recognize the grey chair. That’s because it seems to be the same mold Regal used for the super-popular Baby Deadpool popcorn bucket and sipper combo, not too long ago.
- Look closely: You can even see the indents on the front where Baby Deadpool’s little legs would have been.
This is a smart way for the theater chain to reuse a popular mold, but it’s something collectors are definitely talking about. You’re essentially getting the same chair, just with a completely different character sitting in it. Now, we need both of these sitting next to each other!
