You Can Finally Buy the Viral DC 90th Anniversary Popcorn Tins Online. DC Comics fans can now celebrate the brand’s 90th anniversary from the comfort of home, as the highly anticipated DC Comic Cover Popcorn Tins have officially launched on the AMC Theatre Shop online.
While initially appearing as a theater exclusive, there is a strong indication that these collectibles might eventually head to other movie chains. Notably, only the Action Comics #1 tin is currently listed as an AMC exclusive, suggesting the other iconic covers may have a wider release in the future.
While we successfully purchased all six designs at the Disney Springs AMC, be aware that policies vary by location. Some theaters are imposing a strict limit of two tins total per person, while others allow guests to buy two of each design.
Online Pricing & Collection Details
The tins are available on the AMC Shop for $21.95 each. Which is cheaper than what was originally listed. Each purchase includes:
- The Popcorn Tin: A sleek, rectangular “book-style” tin designed to look like a premium graphic novel.
- A Lanyard & Badge: Every tin comes with a matching lanyard and a plastic-sleeved ID badge featuring the cover of Brave and the Bold #28 (the first appearance of the Justice League).
- You can either get a Large Popcorn or 8 Chocolate Chip Cookies with purchase in theaters.
The Six Iconic Designs
The collection pays tribute to the Golden and Silver Ages of DC history with six legendary covers:
- Superman: Action Comics #1 (1938) – The debut of the Man of Steel.
- Superman: Superman #1 (1939) – The first self-titled solo superhero series.
- Batman: Batman #1 (1940) – Featuring the first appearance of Joker and Catwoman.
- Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman Vol. 1 #103 (1959) – A classic Silver Age look.
- The Flash: Showcase Comics #4 (1956) – The debut of Barry Allen.
- Justice League: Justice League #102 (1972) – A legendary ensemble cover.
AMC Theatrers Social Media just posted a moment ago: “Justice never tasted so good. Snack like a hero with a limited-edition DC Comics tin & matching lanyard. Comes with your choice of a large popcorn OR 8 chocolate chip cookies. Available in Theatres starting 2/4. Link in bio to learn more!” Notice the date, today is the 6th, when it was posted, but the post mentions the 4th, when we originally posted about these.
Where Else to Find Them
If you prefer to buy them in person, the tins are also available at AMC Theatre locations for a slightly lower price of $21.00, which includes 85 oz of popcorn.
Because these are expected to sell out quickly, and with the potential for them to appear at other chains later this year, collectors are encouraged to grab their favorite covers now before they hit the secondary resale market.
