These Minecraft-themed novelties are part of an ongoing trend that has captivated moviegoers since the viral R2-D2 popcorn bucket for 2019's Rise of Skywalker. The success of that iconic snack container sparked a wave of creative and often pricey theater merchandise. While some might feel it's a trend that's been overdone, there's no denying its role in enhancing the theatrical experience and drawing crowds to cinemas.
