Zootopia 2 Popcorn Buckets Roll out Alongside Advance Ticket Sales
By Alexander Ross
Distribution across North America follows an exclusive tiering model. Each major theater chain secured distinct variants of Disney concession merchandise to differentiate their concession stands and steer advance ticket sales directly into their proprietary apps.
AMC collectible vessels focus on molded vehicle plastics. AMC app users reserving opening-weekend tickets were offered early pre-orders for the motorized-aesthetic Judy cruiser, paired with an exclusive AMC-branded Nick Wilde lapel pin for $34.99 as a combo bundle. AMC also introduced a collectible cup featuring a lenticular wrap showing the different climatic districts of Zootopia as the cup tilts.
Regal Cinemas took a character-bust approach. Regal counter staff received inventory of a standalone Nick Wilde sculpted head popcorn container alongside a plush Judy Hopps cup hugger. Members of the Regal Crown Club can purchase the bucket separately for $27.99 or pair it with any soft drink refill for a discounted promotional price.
Hollywood’s historic El Capitan Theatre established the high-end collector benchmark. The Disney-operated showcase house paired its theatrical release screenings with an ultra-exclusive concession package: a metallic-finish embossed tin bucket, a limited-edition Judy badge lanyard, and a numbered certificate of authenticity. These flagship packages routinely retail above $45.00, catering to Disney park enthusiasts and animation archivists who treat exhibition memorabilia as blue-chip collectibles.
