  "account": "AMC Theaters has unveiled an exclusive popcorn bucket for the upcoming Street Fighter movie, taking the form of a wearable item inspired by Guile's hairstyle. In a promotional video, Guile actor Cody Rhodes showcased the ergonomic and aerodynamic bucket while it was being used by co-stars Noah Centineo and Callina Liang. Cinemark also announced related merchandise that pays homage to the arcade origins of the franchise. Popcorn buckets have become highly coveted collectibles and have gained popularity as viral marketing tools for cinema chains and theaters. The sandworm popcorn bucket from Dune: Part Two kicked off a series of increasingly competitive and creative creations from studios and theater chains. In 2024, Ryan Reynolds dubbed this year \"the year 'when the War of the Popcorn Buckets began'\" with the Deadpool & Wolverine popcorn bucket. Other notable examples include Regal Theatres' Garfield popcorn bucket, where patrons could eat popcorn out of Garfield's head, and a ghost trap-themed bucket for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. AMC's giant \"Giant Galactus Popcorn Vessel\" was featured for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and more recently, Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey offered popcorn buckets shaped like an IMAX camera and a Trojan horse, respectively. This weekend, moviegoers can obtain the Resident Evil popcorn bucket, which takes the form of an organ transplant bag, while the upcoming theatrical release of Avengers: Endgame Encore offers two distinct Iron Man popcorn bucket options. Street Fighter sets to open in theaters on October 16.",
