Movie theater collectibles have reached a new level of awesome. Multiple major theater chains have just announced they’ll be offering a limited-time Yoshi-themed popcorn bucket for the upcoming release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie .

A Rare Moment of Unity

Here’s something you don’t see every day: the big guys are actually sharing the spotlight this time. AMC Theatres, Regal Cinemas, and Cinemark have all confirmed they’ll be carrying the same Yoshi bucket design . Usually, theater chains compete with exclusive collectibles, but this green dinosaur is apparently too popular to keep to themselves.

From Simple Tins to Full-On Sculptures

If you picked up merch for the first Super Mario Bros. Movie back in 2023, you might remember we were mostly looking at themed tins and cups . Fast forward three years, and we’ve got an entire plastic-molded Yoshi clutching his signature spotted egg. According to early reports, this detailed collectible features a hinged lid on the egg that “hatches” open to hold your popcorn .

Word on the street is this bucket will run you upwards of $50, placing it in the “luxury collectible” category . But let’s be honest—when has that ever stopped dedicated fans?

Images of the Yoshi bucket have been circulating online for a while now, presumably leaked by theater employees who got their hands on early stock. The hype has been building, and now it’s officially official.

More Mario News on the Horizon

Speaking of official announcements, mark your calendars for this Monday, March 9. Nintendo is hosting another Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET .

The Direct is expected to drop the final trailer for the film, which hits theaters on April 1, 2026 . And if the YouTube thumbnail is any indication, we might be seeing a character we haven’t spotted in a long time. Recent reports suggest deep-cut villains like Wart and Mouser from Super Mario Bros. 2 could be making appearances .

The film brings back Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, and Jack Black as Bowser, with new additions Brie Larson as Rosalina and Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr. .

Whether you’re after that Yoshi bucket or just can’t wait to see Mario go galactic, it’s shaping up to be an exciting few weeks for fans. Just maybe show up early to the theater—those Yoshis are gonna go fast.
