The Yoshi Popcorn Bucket arrives in theaters April 1 with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, giving fans a collectible Mario-themed snack souvenir.

A brand-new collectible is hopping into theaters this spring. The Yoshi Popcorn Bucket is set to arrive at movie theaters nationwide when The Super Mario Galaxy Movie premieres on April 1, 2026, giving fans of Yoshi another must-have souvenir tied to the ever-growing Super Mario universe. Popcorn bucket collectors and Nintendo fans alike are already buzzing about the upcoming release, which will be available at major theater chains across the United States.

What the Yoshi Popcorn Bucket Looks Like

The collectible bucket is designed to resemble Yoshi himself sitting upright and holding a bowl shaped like a Yoshi egg. The egg, white with the character’s signature green spots, serves as the popcorn container. The design features plenty of detail that fans will instantly recognize, including Yoshi’s bright green body, blue eyes, orange shoes, and the small red shell on his back.

The bucket can hold up to 105 ounces of popcorn and will likely come filled with a large popcorn when purchased. With its colorful look and character accuracy, the bucket resembles merchandise guests might find inside Super Nintendo World, making it a crossover collectible for both movie and theme park fans.

Where You Can Buy the Yoshi Popcorn Bucket

The Yoshi Popcorn Bucket will have a wide theatrical release, meaning fans should be able to find it at several major theater chains when the film opens. Participating theaters are expected to include:

• AMC Theatres
• Regal Cinemas
• Cinemark Theatres

AMC announced the bucket first, with additional theaters quickly confirming their own availability. Some locations may also offer online ordering or early availability shortly before the film’s release, a trend theaters have increasingly adopted for popular collectible concessions.

Expected Price for the Collectible

While official pricing has not yet been confirmed, similar theatrical collectible popcorn buckets for blockbuster films often land around $50. Movie-themed buckets tied to major franchises, especially those tied to highly anticipated releases, have become extremely popular in recent years, often selling out during opening weekend.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Opens April 1

The bucket arrives alongside the theatrical release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the next big-screen adventure produced by Nintendo and Illumination, with distribution from Universal Pictures.

The film’s marketing campaign is already ramping up with merchandise, themed experiences, and collectibles tied to the release. At Super Nintendo World, Universal Parks are planning special offerings, including a limited-time Yoshi meet-and-greet and themed snacks running from March 10 through April 13, 2026.

With demand for Mario merchandise stronger than ever, the Yoshi Popcorn Bucket could quickly become one of the most sought-after movie collectibles of the year. For fans hoping to add this cheerful dinosaur to their collection, opening weekend might be the best chance to grab one before they disappear.
