These Minecraft-themed novelties are the latest addition to a trend that's been captivating moviegoers since the 2019 release of 'Rise of Skywalker' with its iconic R2-D2 popcorn bucket. The viral success of that bucket ignited a wave of excitement among theater executives, leading to a modern tradition of themed concessions. While some might argue it's been overdone and pricey, there's no denying its allure in drawing audiences to the cinematic experience.
