Overview
- Official Scary Movie social accounts this week posted a short teaser video that showed clear, globe-bottomed, waterpipe-style vessels labeled as popcorn buckets in multiple sizes.
- Director Michael Tiddes replied on Instagram to fan questions by writing that the items are real, a confirmation reported across outlets.
- Reports and commentators note there is no public plan yet for concession-stand sales, and some outlets say theaters may be unlikely to carry glass, bong-like containers so online or specialty sales are possible.
- Fans on social media reacted with a mix of amusement and skepticism, praising the clever marketing while questioning the product’s practicality and authenticity.
- The stunt follows the franchise’s history of provocative promotions and taps a recent film-marketing trend of novelty popcorn buckets intended to generate viral attention before the June 5 theatrical debut.
