Updated June 1, 2026. For every movie theater popcorn bucket releasing this year across all films and chains, the full picture is at our Movie Theater Popcorn Buckets hub.
Regal — Minions & Monsters Collectibles
Regal has confirmed three sculpted collectible popcorn containers for Minions & Monsters, making it the most robust theatrical collectibles lineup confirmed so far. All items are available at participating Regal locations while supplies last.
- Zoetrope Collectible Popcorn Bucket – The standout piece of the entire theatrical run. The Zoetrope bucket is a teal art-deco-styled chest with ornate gold legs, designed to tie directly into the film’s 1920s Hollywood setting. It comes filled with a large popcorn. Of everything announced across all chains so far, this is the one with the highest likelihood of selling out fastest — the design is genuinely unlike anything Regal has released for a non-Disney title in recent memory.
- Irene Collectible Popcorn Container – A sculpted container showing a Minion — possibly Dave — being consumed by a lumpy, orange, many-eyed monster named Irene. Comes with a large popcorn included.
- James and Goomi Collectible Popcorn Container – Features Stuart holding a small green creature, with a large popcorn included. The more straightforward of the three sculpted options, but still a solid character piece for Minions fans.
- Additional Regal Items – Regal is also offering a Collectible Kids Combo (64oz Popcorn Tin, 16oz Drink Cup, filled with popcorn and soda, plus one of five character toppers), Shoulder Buddies magnetic plush accessories, and the Collectible Explorer Light-Up Cup.
Pricing for Regal sculpted buckets has run $24.99 to $29.99 for comparable Illumination and animated releases. FLN will confirm exact Minions & Monsters pricing when Regal posts it officially. For the full item-by-item Regal breakdown, see our Regal Minions & Monsters popcorn buckets guide.
Cinemark — Minions & Monsters Collectibles
Cinemark has confirmed a full lineup that includes two sculpted popcorn buckets, an exclusive shaped cup, a large popcorn tin, a collectible ICEE cup, and two themed blankets — one of the more varied non-Regal lineups for a single film release.
Cinemark pricing is confirmed. The two sculpted popcorn buckets — the Irene and the James & Goomi — are each $34.95 with free same-day refills. The exclusive Cowboy Souvenir Cup is $27.95. The Super Snack Pack and Plush Combo is $24.95 at select locations. The 130oz Popcorn Tin is $14.95, the 32oz ICEE Cup is $7.95, and both themed blankets are $29.95 each.
- Cowboy Souvenir Cup – An exclusive North America-only shaped cup featuring a Minion in a cowboy hat and bandana. This is not a standard printed cup — it is shaped and sculpted, making it one of the more distinctive cup-format collectibles Cinemark has offered for a summer release.
- James & Irene Popcorn Bucket – A sculpted figure bucket, not a standard printed tub. Full dimensions and pricing will be confirmed closer to release.
- James & Goomi Popcorn Bucket – A second sculpted figure bucket, also not a standard printed tub. The two Cinemark buckets offer a different visual take on the same characters available at Regal, so completists planning to visit multiple chains will find them worth comparing.
- Additional Cinemark Items – The Cinemark lineup also includes a Super Snack Pack and Plush Combo, a 130oz Popcorn Tin, a 32oz ICEE Cup, and two themed blankets. For pricing and the full item-by-item breakdown, see our Cinemark Minions & Monsters popcorn buckets and collectibles guide.
AMC
AMC is bringing Minions & Monsters collectibles to its concession stands starting July 1, with a special bonus item for Dolby Cinema ticket holders.
AMC will offer a lineup of concession collectibles in theaters starting on opening day. The confirmed items include cup toppers and a sipper, available at AMC locations while supplies last. No pricing has been announced yet.
Dolby Cinema at AMC ticket holders get something extra on July 1: a collectible keychain. The keychain is only available to guests who see the film in Dolby Cinema on opening day, so if you are planning to go big on the format, that is the version to book. Full details on the AMC lineup are confirmed.
- Mini Minions Combo — Includes a large drink with a mystery cup topper, a large popcorn in a “Content Creator” printed tub, and one mystery plushie. The topper and plushie are randomized, so you will not know what you are getting until you open it.
- Zoetrope Collectible Popcorn Bucket — The teal art-deco theater chest that has also been confirmed at Regal. AMC markets this as exclusive, but it is not. Includes a large popcorn.
- Train Collectible Popcorn Bucket — This one is the real AMC exclusive. It is a sculpted green steam locomotive with a Minion peeking out of the coal car, and it includes a large popcorn. Nothing else at any other chain comes close to this design, and it is the item serious collectors will be after first.
- Camera Cup — A sculpted Minion holding a vintage film camera, included with a large drink. AMC labels this exclusive, but similar sculpted cups are available at other chains. Still a strong design if you are building out your collection.
- Barbarians with Chainsaws Blanket — A fleece blanket featuring a retro movie poster design for a fictional film-within-the-film called Barbarians with Chainsaws. It is a fun piece of movie merchandise that ties directly into the 1920s Hollywood storyline.
Marcus Theatres
Marcus Theatres has confirmed a full collectibles lineup for Minions & Monsters, including an exclusive RealD 3D collectible ticket and a free bag charm screening event.
As part of RealD 3D’s Make Summer Pop campaign, Marcus is offering a limited collectible ticket series for the film. Collectible Series Vol. 2 of 5 features a Minion surrounded by the many-eyed monster Irene on a full-sized ticket numbered out of 10,000. To get one, you need to see Minions & Monsters in RealD 3D at a participating Marcus location on Wednesday, July 1 while supplies last. This is a numbered collectible, so ticket #00001/10000 would be genuinely worth holding onto.
Marcus is also hosting a Bag Charm Special Screening on Sunday, July 5 only. Guests who purchase a special screening ticket for that date will receive a free Minions & Monsters bag charm, which features a die-cut acrylic Minion charm on a lanyard. The bag charm is only available with the special screening ticket, while supplies last.
The wider Marcus limited-time collectibles lineup for the film includes the Zoetrope Collectible Popcorn Bucket (the same teal art-deco chest confirmed at Regal), two sculpted popcorn containers, a movie poster-style printed popcorn tub, and two Minion mini-figures. Full details on every Marcus item are in our Movie Theater Popcorn Buckets hub.
Epic Theatres
Epic Theatres has confirmed one of the largest Minions & Monsters collectibles lineups of any chain, with sculpted buckets, a sipper cup, mini figures, a blanket, a SnapCraze box, and more available starting July 1.
The full Epic lineup includes the Zoetrope Collectible Popcorn Bucket (the teal art-deco theater chest with large popcorn, also available at Regal and AMC), a printed large popcorn tub from a movie poster, a second printed popcorn tub in a smaller size, and a large film-strip-style printed bucket featuring Dave and Stuart. Epic is also offering a Minion Sipper Cup with a cowboy-dressed Minion figure on the straw, a square bucket with a see-through window “Show Me That Smile,” a Minions & Monsters fleece blanket, and a James and Goomi sculpted popcorn container similar to what Regal is carrying.
On the figure side, Epic has two standalone sculpted collectibles: a cowboy Minion and a James holding Goomi figure. There is also a set of four small Minion mini-figures shown together — a pirate, a cowboy, a knight, and a fourth character — which appear to be part of a collectible series. Epic is also offering the film in RealD 3D and IMAX formats.
Full pricing and availability details for Epic Theatres have not been confirmed. Check back here as more details are released ahead of the July 1 opening. For the full chain-by-chain breakdown, visit our Movie Theater Popcorn Buckets hub.

About Minions & Monsters
Minions & Monsters is an Illumination production distributed by Universal Pictures, opening exclusively in theaters on July 1, 2026. The film follows the Minions as they crash a 1920s Hollywood film set, become overnight stars, lose everything, accidentally unleash monsters on the world, and are forced to band together to save it. The 1920s setting directly informs the art-deco design language of several theatrical collectibles, most notably the Regal Zoetrope bucket.
The voice cast includes Jeff Bridges, Allison Janney, Christoph Waltz, Jesse Eisenberg, Zoey Deutch, Bobby Moynihan, and Trey Parker. Pierre Coffin returns as director and as the voice of the Minions, a role he has held since the franchise launched in 2010.

Which theater has the best Minions & Monsters collectible?

Can I buy Minions & Monsters popcorn buckets without seeing the movie?
Policies vary by theater. Most chains require a same-day ticket purchase to buy concession items including collectible buckets. Some locations may sell collectibles separately, but this is not standard practice. Check with your specific theater.
