WEST SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - Cinemark theaters are celebrating National Popcorn Day on Sunday with an offer to fill your own bucket with popcorn for $5.
In Cinemark's BYOBUCKET promotion, they provide examples such as a garden bucket, pail, cooler, and even a Halloween trick-or-treat container, the purse may be pushing it too far. They are offering to fill any clean container that does not exceed 400 ounces (equivalent of two XL popcorns) for $5.

"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."
