These Minecraft-themed novelties are the latest addition to a trend that has been captivating audiences since the R2-D2 popcorn bucket for 2019's Rise of Skywalker. The viral success of that bucket over six years ago sparked a wave of excitement among theater executives, leading to a fun, albeit somewhat overdone and pricey, modern theatrical tradition. If these unique items encourage more people to enjoy the cinematic experience, then count me in!
