MOVIE MERCH
The famous R&B and pop singer’s concert movie, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, premiered in London last month and was released to theaters worldwide today.
The movie itself has racked up a lot of hype, but so has the popcorn souvenir bucket.
The collectible popcorn tin will be available for purchase at participating AMC theaters and Regal theaters, where the Renaissance movie will be playing starting today.
AMC is selling the popcorn bucket for $22.99, and it comes with a large popcorn.
The bucket is black and silver, and the collectible cup with the same design is for sale at AMC for $12.99. It comes with a large fountain drink.
Regal has not yet listed their prices for the bucket and cup.

EBAY PRICE SPIKE
While the $22.99 theater bucket may seem pricey, resellers on platforms like eBay are selling the merch for much more.
The highest listing price for the bucket is a whopping $79.99, which is nearly 3.5 times more than the price of the souvenir at theaters and doesn’t include the price of shipping.
The price range for other eBay listings of the bucket is $31.59 to $75, with most falling around $50 to $70.
ERAS BUCKETS
Fans of Taylor Swift were similarly hyped for the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour movie and rushed to theaters to grab the collectible movie merch.
For her movie, the souvenirs for purchase included a popcorn tub with large popcorn, popcorn tin with large popcorn, and a collectible cup with either a large or regular drink.
The bucket tub cost fans $14.99 while the tin cost $19.89, which alludes to her 1989 album.
The collectible cup cost $11.99 or $9.99, depending on which drink size you chose.
The Taylor Swift buckets also were resold on platforms like eBay with a price spike.
One of the most expensive price tags was $250, which included the popcorn tin and collectible cup.
However, most listings for the Taylor Swift bucket were around $100.
BUCKET TWEETS
Fans of Beyoncé and Taylor Swift took to X, formerly Twitter, to express their excitement for the movie merch.
One Beyoncé fan wrote: “Gonna watch the Beyoncé Renaissance movie I got the bucket I’m loving life.”
A Taylor Swift fan tweeted: “Got my weekly dopamine fix thanks to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour movie, the poster and the popcorn bucket.”
