DC Comics 90th Anniversary Popcorn Buckets: Prices, Designs, and How to Get Them. DC fans, it’s time to assemble at the concessions stand. To celebrate 90 years of DC Comics, AMC Theatres has released a stunning collection of limited-edition popcorn bucket tins that pay homage to the Golden and Silver Ages of comic book history. These classic DC Comic Covers Popcorn Bucket Tins are priced at $21.00 each and include a lanyard.
These aren’t your average plastic buckets. Sleek, rectangular tins designed to mimic the look of a premium graphic novel or a stacked comic collection, these “book-style” containers are a must-have for any collector. This may be your only chance to display a Superman #1 at your home! Plus, it is something for DC movie fans to collect while we wait for Supergirl on June 26, 2026 “Truth. Justice. Whatever.“
These look the same size as the viral Harry Potter Hogwarts House popcorn bucket tins released last September for the rerelease of the films. Designed and manufactured by Golden Link Inc, which also had matching tumblers. These are only available at AMC Theatres, and not online as of yet. We also do not know if they are exclusive to AMC. While some AMC theatres have these for sale now, the official release day may be Thursday or Friday. Check your local theater for availability.
The Ultimate DC Comic “Cover” Collection
AMC has six classic and highly valuable covers that defined the DC Universe. Each tin features vibrant, high-fidelity art that wraps around the “spine,” making them look just as good on a bookshelf as they do in your lap.

Price and Features
For $21.00, you get more than just a piece of history. Each tin is designed for utility and portability. Each tin holds approximately 85 oz of AMC’s signature “Perfectly Popcorn.” Collectible Badge: The lanyard also includes a plastic-sleeved ID badge featuring the classic Brave and the Bold #28 cover (the first appearance of the Justice League).
Pro Tip: Don’t just check the concession stand! Many AMC locations now have dedicated “merchandise kiosks” near the entrance. If you’re looking to collect all six, you might want to move fast. These anniversary items are notoriously popular and are expected to sell out as fans flock to the theater for the latest DC blockbusters. Your next chance may be paying double or triple on eBay!
