The Shrek Outhouse Popcorn Bucket is officially coming to AMC Theatres this May. Learn how to snag this 25th-anniversary piece before it sells out at the swamp.
Some bodies once told us the world was gonna roll us, but they didn’t mention it would be into an AMC Theatre for the most iconic movie collectible of 2026. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the film that redefined fairy tales, Dreamworks and AMC are releasing the Shrek Outhouse Popcorn Bucket.
In what could be the “grossest” popcorn bucket idea in some time, the Shrek Outhouse Popcorn Bucket will only be around for a little while. Also, we suspect Shrek fans will race for this treat like they are making waffles in the morning.
Forget the sleek, sci-fi designs of other popcorn buckets. The Shrek Outhouse Popcorn Bucket presents a rustic swamp aesthetic. Shaped exactly like Shrek’s famous wooden outhouse, complete with the crescent-moon cutout, this bucket is a “must-have” for fans who want to bring a little piece of the swamp home.
Design Details: Better Out Than In
The bucket features “plank-style” detailing to mimic old wood and uneven edges for that authentic ogre-built look. To top that, the real magic is in the functionality:
- The Door: The front door actually opens outward, allowing you to snack on your popcorn just like Shrek exiting his home for his morning routine.
- The Roof: For those who prefer a traditional approach, there is a top flap on the roof for easy refills.
- The Figure: Each bucket comes with a removable Shrek figure that can be attached to the base, making it a perfect display piece once the popcorn is gone.
Shrek Outhouse Popcorn Bucket: When and Where to Buy
The Shrek Outhouse Popcorn Bucket is set to drop at AMC Theatres starting May 1, 2026. This release serves as the precursor to the original film’s return to the big screen on May 15 and to Shrek 5, which is slated for December 2026. We expect the price of this popcorn bucket to be around $30. With other major May releases like The Mandalorian & Grogu and The Devil Wears Prada 2 also launching collectibles, competition among fans will be fierce.
Guests looking for a Universal Orlando Resort theme with their popcorn bucket could get this Shrek one and the Optimus Prime one. Either way, expect the Shrek Outhouse Popcorn Buckets to sell out faster than you can say, “That’ll do, Donkey.”
