Cinemark celebrates National Popcorn Day with a $5 XL popcorn deal and a “Bring Your Own Bucket” event, inviting fans to fill containers up to 400 ounces.
PLANO, Texas — Attention, popcorn lovers! Do we have a poppin’ deal for you.
National Popcorn Day is Jan. 19, and to celebrate, Plano-based Cinemark is offering the chain’s first-ever “Bring Your Own Bucket” day. Popcorn lovers can celebrate the annual holiday with $5 XL popcorn at all Cinemark theaters, the company said in a release.
Cinemark is also inviting people to bring containers – whether it be an iconic film-specific collectible bucket, a favorite hand-me-down snack bowl, or a creative DIY art project – and fill it with popcorn for $5. Everyone is invited to participate, and no movie ticket is required, Cinemark said.
As long as the container is clean and does not exceed 400 ounces, Cinemark will fill it to the brim with crisp, freshly popped kernels.
“National Popcorn Day is one of the best days of the year at Cinemark, and for popcorn lovers everywhere. We are thrilled to mark this year’s celebration with our first ever ‘Bring Your Own Bucket’ event, in addition to limited time sweepstakes and promotions,” said David Haywood, Cinemark SVP Food & Beverage. “Popcorn has always been the star of movie theater concessions, though popcorn vessels have become an award-worthy supporting actor. We are excited for everyone to get creative with this campaign and show off their choice of container while enjoying the iconic snack alongside a great film.”
On Jan. 19 only, all who follow Cinemark’s official Instagram account (@Cinemark) and tag three friends in the comments of the National Popcorn Day sweepstakes post will be entered to win a free large popcorn.
