The ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ popcorn buckets and theater merch have become a big part of the countdown to Marvel’s next team-up. Collectible concessions have turned into an event of their own, and Doctor Doom is the star of nearly every design this time.

The excitement around the film is huge. Directed by the Russo brothers, the film brings together heroes from three universes to face off against Doctor Doom (played by Robert Downey Jr.) in a multiverse showdown. Advance ticket sales have been strong too, with the film reportedly generating about $100 million in presales after bookings opened nearly 4 months early.

Fans now have a clearer picture of what they can bring home. Box office tracker Markie Devo shared a detailed roundup on X of the merchandise heading to theaters, noting that AMC, Regal and Cinemark each have exclusive items. The post also points out that some pieces may be available at more locations than the ones listed.

Markie Devo encouraged fans to check with their local theater before December 18 to find out when the items will arrive. Some theaters are expected to sell merch online as well, with updates promised once it goes live.

AMC has one of the most varied collections. Its lineup includes a Sentinel Head popcorn bucket, a Doctor Doom Collectible popcorn bucket, Bottle of Doom drinkware, and a Team Icon Collectible available in three designs. Those designs feature the logos of Doctor Doom, The Avengers, and the X-Men.

The Doom bucket is a standout. It is a bust of Doom with his arms crossed and glowing green eyes. At AMC, it comes with a large popcorn, and the Bottle of Doom sipper comes with a fountain drink.

Regal went for a royal approach. Its exclusives include a Doom’s Throne Popcorn Container and a Sentinel Collectible Drink Vessel, alongside a Doctor Doom Statue Popcorn Bucket. Each popcorn collectible comes with a large popcorn and will be available at select Regal theaters while supplies last.

The Sentinel drink vessel is shaped like the head of one of the X-Men’s robotic hunters. Regal’s merch hits select locations starting December 17, the day before the film opens. Cinemark added a little extra flair. Its lineup features an LED Doctor Doom statue bucket, an LED Doctor Doom 3D cup, 4 souvenir cups and 3 popcorn tins, all with free same-day refills. One of the popcorn tin designs is a Cinemark exclusive.

The Doom statue design is everywhere this year. Regal, AMC, Cinemark, Harkins, and Marcus all revealed their lineups on October 29, and every chain is selling a version of the statue bucket.

Not every detail is out yet. AMC hasn’t announced prices, and neither have Regal or Cinemark. Cinemark also hasn’t confirmed when its items will go on sale. Fans should keep the fine print in mind too. Reports note that gourmet popcorn isn’t included at AMC, drinks are fountain only, and AMC Stubs upgrades don’t apply. AMC has not officially confirmed those details yet.

Collectors may need to plan ahead, because demand for theaters will be high. ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ shares its US opening date with ‘Dune: Part Three’, and both films are competing for the same premium screens. Premium-format showtimes for December 17 and 18 are reportedly already largely sold out.

With limited stock and strong demand, the best collectibles may not last long. Fans who want a Doom statue or Sentinel head on their shelf should check local listings early and be ready the week of release.

Which ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ theater collectible are you most excited to get your hands on?
