Best of all, literally anything can be a bucket! Get creative — any container can be a bucket, including a Lowe’s 5-gallon blue bucket.
On January 18 and 19, 2026, Cinemark will load “your bucket” with popcorn for just $5 at participating locations. (Select locations will also offer kettle corn.)
Your container can be up to 400-oz. That’s equivalent to two (2) XL popcorns!
All containers must be clean and sanitized before use. Cinemark will also provide a complimentary food-grade liner for all popcorn fills.
Limit one fill-up per person.
There are 9 locations in Colorado — Aurora, Boulder, Colorado Springs (2), Fort Collins (2), Greeley, Lakewood and Pueblo.
