The Yoshi Popcorn Bucket is coming to movie theaters on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, when The Super Mario Galaxy Movie opens nationwide. It is a 105oz full-figure Yoshi collectible bucket, available at AMC, Regal, Cinemark, Harkins, Marcus Theatres, Showcase Cinemas, and more. It is one of the best-looking theater buckets released in years. This is the complete guide to every Super Mario Galaxy Movie popcorn bucket, by chain, with pricing, availability, and everything else you need to know before opening day.

What Does the Yoshi Popcorn Bucket Look Like?
The Yoshi Popcorn Bucket is a full-figure sculpt of Yoshi sitting in a relaxed pose, holding a white Yoshi Egg bowl out in front of him. That egg is where your popcorn goes. The detail is impressive across the whole piece: big round head, blue eyes, little orange shoes, red shell on his back, and the classic green-and-white color scheme throughout. It holds 105oz of popcorn and comes with a large popcorn included at most chains. For context, a standard large movie theater popcorn is around 46oz, so this bucket holds more than twice that. It is designed and manufactured by ZINC.
It looks like something straight out of Super Nintendo World, and honestly, that makes sense. We had been asking Universal to bring over the Bob-omb Popcorn Bucket and Yoshi Sipper from Japan for months. The movie giving us a Yoshi bucket at theaters nationwide feels like the universe finally listened.
Where to Get the Yoshi Popcorn Bucket
The Yoshi Popcorn Bucket is non-exclusive, meaning it is available across multiple chains simultaneously. AMC Theatres was the first to announce it on March 7th. Regal, Cinemark, Harkins, Marcus Theatres, Showcase Cinemas, and others followed. Each chain has also announced its own exclusive items beyond the Yoshi bucket. See the chain-by-chain breakdown below for the full picture at each location.
How Much Does the Yoshi Popcorn Bucket Cost?
Pricing has not been universally confirmed across all chains, but based on comparable collectible theater buckets from recent major releases, expect the Yoshi bucket to land around $50. That has become the going rate for detailed figure buckets at this tier. The Dune: Part Two bucket came in there, and so have several recent franchise releases. It stings a little, but for a bucket this detailed, most collectors will call it fair.
Every Super Mario Galaxy Movie Popcorn Bucket by Theater Chain
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has one of the largest theater collectible rollouts in recent memory. Beyond the Yoshi bucket, each major chain has its own exclusive items. Here is the full breakdown.
Cinemark: LED Luma Buckets, Bowser’s Cauldron, and a $35 Super Ticket
Cinemark has the deepest lineup of any chain. In addition to the Yoshi Popcorn Bucket, Cinemark is offering the 105oz Luma Star LED Popcorn Bucket in four colors (green, red, yellow, and blue), each with a built-in LED light and free same-day refill. There is also Bowser’s Cauldron, a miniature cast-iron-style collectible popcorn bucket and the smallest theater bucket we have ever seen. The $35 Cinemark Super Ticket Package bundles a Mini Popcorn Cauldron with Bowser keychain, Mini Poster, 1 of 6 random Luma Push Pins, a Medium Drink, and a Popcorn Tub. It is valid for Super Ticket showtimes on April 1st only. Additional items include a 44oz Souvenir Cup, 130oz Round Tin, 170oz Square Tub, Throw Blanket, and Luma Plushie Bag Clip. Read our full Cinemark Super Mario Galaxy Movie popcorn bucket guide for complete details.
Bowser’s Cauldron has since been certified by Guinness World Records as the World’s Smallest Popcorn Container, holding 105 ML, with Fantasy Land News serving as an official witness at AMC Universal CityWalk Hollywood on March 17, 2026.
Showcase Cinemas: Yoshi Bucket, Tub, Tin, Cup, and Square Cup
Showcase Cinemas is offering five items on opening day: the Yoshi Popcorn Bucket, a galaxy-themed Cup, a Tub, a Square Cup, and a Square Tin. All five are available at participating Showcase locations while supplies last. Read our full Showcase Cinemas Super Mario Galaxy Movie collectibles guide for details on each item.
AMC, Regal, Harkins, Marcus Theatres, and More
AMC was the first chain to officially announce the Yoshi Popcorn Bucket on March 7th. Regal followed shortly after with a video reveal. Harkins and Marcus Theatres are also confirmed to carry the Yoshi bucket. Chain-specific exclusives at these locations are still being announced. Check back as we update closer to April 1st.
Epic Theatres in Florida may have the most extensive lineup for the Mario Galaxy Movie. They will have all 6 Luma popcorn bucket colors.
Can You Pre-Order the Yoshi Popcorn Bucket?
Fandango is offering pre-order options for Super Mario Galaxy Movie merchandise ahead of the April 1st opening. Some theater chains have also started offering early pickup or online reservations for collectible items tied to major releases. Check your local AMC, Regal, or Cinemark listing in the days before April 1st for availability details. Given how fast Mario merchandise has moved since the first film, waiting until opening weekend carries real risk of missing out.
Super Nintendo World at Universal Epic Universe
If you are planning a trip to Universal Epic Universe around the film’s release, there is a full MAR10 Day experience running from Tuesday, March 10, through Monday, April 13, 2026, inside Super Nintendo World. Yoshi is part of a limited-time meet and greet during that period, which is a big deal for fans who have been wanting more character interaction inside the land. Universal is also offering exclusive interactive Luma shoulder pals in blue and yellow, with built-in light and sound effects that trigger when two of them are near each other. These are a first-of-their-kind item and one of the most talked-about pieces of merch from this entire release.
The Full Super Mario Galaxy Movie Merchandise Picture
The Yoshi Popcorn Bucket is the centerpiece, but the full merchandise rollout around this film is enormous. We covered the Bubly x Super Mario Galaxy Movie collab back in February, and we broke down the Yoshi trailer in January. Keep it locked to Fantasy Land News for every update as April 1st gets closer.
