How to Get a Marty Supreme Popcorn Bucket

To get a Marty Supreme popcorn bucket, you’ll need to be a Regal Crown Club member. This is completely free and you can join online or at the theater.

Next, reserve a seat for an early showing of Marty Supreme at a participating theater. The movie premieres on Christmas Day.

You should receive an email with a promo voucher for one Marty Supreme popcorn bucket that can be redeemed at your participating Regal theater. If you’re also an AAA24 member, you’ll receive a free small popcorn as well, but we strongly recommend not filling your bucket with popcorn if you intend to resell it.

We’ve seen estimates that these theaters only have 100 to 300 popcorn buckets on hand. Supply will likely not last past opening day, and busy theaters might run out after their first showing.

Check the full list of participating theaters here. If you’re in a rural state like Utah or Colorado, you might only have one or two theaters anywhere near you.

A24 and Regal clearly don’t want this turning into a pure reseller play. The membership requirements and limited distribution create barriers that most casual flippers won’t bother with.

That said, theater employees have reportedly been handing out buckets to regular ticketed guests without checking memberships, according to the Regal subreddit. This is purely anecdotal and not something to count on, but if you’re already seeing a movie at a participating Regal on Christmas, it doesn’t hurt to ask at concessions.

These are taking off on eBay, with early sales coming in for more than $200 at a time. This drop is looking like one of the rarest and most collectible popcorn buckets of all time, so we expect sales to hold.

This is final sale territory. Movie tickets aren’t refundable, and neither is the A24 membership if you sign up just for this. If the bucket market crashes or your theater runs out before you redeem your code, you’re stuck with those costs.

We’d recommend factoring in your individual opportunity cost. If you are already planning to see Marty Supreme in theaters on Christmas Day, absolutely prioritize getting one of these buckets. It will likely pay for you and your entire party’s tickets and concessions.

For pure resellers, the math gets shakier. Between memberships, tickets, and the possibility of theaters running out, you’re betting on sustained demand for a bucket tied to a movie most people haven’t seen yet.

The barriers to entry here work both ways. Fewer resellers will bother, which could support prices. But fewer total buckets in circulation also means less secondary market volume.

Oh and by the way, if you’re seeing Marty Supreme at an LA-area theater, make sure you check out our article on AMC’s Marty Supreme ping pong ball giveaway. These are completely free, and selling on eBay for up to $20 at a time.
