- The collectible goes on sale May 1 and includes a large popcorn.
- The bucket is part of AMC’s celebration of the movie’s 25th anniversary and upcoming theatrical screenings.
Popcorn buckets have gotten so absurd lately that it’s hard to react anymore. One minute it’s Ghostface bursting through a door, the next it’s a chic red The Devil Wears Prada 2-inspired handbag, and somehow we’re all just supposed to nod and keep moving. Still, I have to admit: the idea of reaching into Shrek’s outhouse for popcorn is a new one. Have I always dreamed of shoving my hand into Shrek’s toilet? I cannot say that I had. But here we are.
AMC is marking the 25th anniversary of Shrek with a new collectible popcorn bucket shaped like the ogre’s beloved little swamp-side bathroom, officially called The Outhouse Popcorn Collectible.
The bucket was announced by AMC on Instagram and will go on sale May 1, while supplies last. It comes with a large popcorn and, crucially, includes a detachable Shrek figure, because apparently this whole thing wasn’t deranged enough without a tiny ogre perched on it.
The front opens, the top opens, and the whole thing is built to let you snack without dumping popcorn everywhere while you dig around in a miniature latrine.
An AMC spokesperson told PEOPLEthat the chain has seen major enthusiasm around its collectible buckets, and framed the Shrek outhouse as a nostalgic way to celebrate a movie that people still really love 25 years later. Which is fair. People are obsessed with this franchise and with weird movie merch. Put those two things together and you get this deeply cursed little shed.
The bucket will be available in connection with AMC’s Shrek screenings, and the movie is set to play in theaters across hundreds of locations in mid-May. For the Shrek fan who has stayed loyal to the big green guy all these years, this one feels pretty ogre-due.
