Popcorn lovers, get ready to unleash your creativity and satisfy your snack cravings—Cinemark is serving up a game-changing deal this National Popcorn Day!

Here’s how it works: grab any clean container you’ve got lying around, whether it’s a collectible movie bucket, a quirky DIY bowl, or even an old family heirloom. The only rule? It needs to hold less than 400 ounces (so maybe skip the kiddie pool). Take your container to any participating Cinemark location, and for just $5, you’ll get it filled with fresh, buttery popcorn—the ultimate movie snack. No ticket? No problem! You don’t need to buy a movie pass to join in the fun.

Not into the BYO bucket vibe? Don’t worry! Cinemark has a tasty alternative: you can still grab a massive XL popcorn for just $5, available at all their locations.

And the fun doesn’t stop there. To keep the popcorn vibes going, Cinemark is hosting a social media sweepstakes and offering discounted gift cards, so it’s the perfect day to treat yourself or share the popcorn love with friends.

Mark your calendars and head over to Cinemark.com/popcornday for all the details. Whether you're a popcorn aficionado or just in it for the snack, this event is guaranteed to pop in all the best ways!
