Back in 2025, Cinemark had its first-ever Bring Your Own Bucket special, where guests could bring in any clean container up to the concession stand to get fresh, hot popcorn or kettle corn for only $5! The fan-favorite is returning for two days this January, and you don’t even need a movie ticket to get the deal.
This year, Cinemark is partnering with Lowe’s to make your next movie night even better. Fans who bring in a classic blue 5-gallon Lowe’s bucket will not only get the steal of $1 per gallon, but can get a bonus perk of a free medium popcorn coupon with the purchase of a medium fountain drink for a future visit. And don’t worry, they offer liners so you can use anything from the Lowe’s bucket to your purse without a butter spill.
