Super Mario Galaxy Movie Debuts Exclusive Yoshi Popcorn Bucket at AMC Theatres

Nintendo and Illumination are set to further energize the global excitement surrounding the highly anticipated theatrical release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie by introducing a limited-edition Yoshi popcorn bucket.

This exclusive collectible will be available for purchase at AMC Theatres locations across the United States, as well as at select cinemas in other regions.

The timing of this collectible’s debut aligns with the film's official release date on April 1, 2024.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie represents the latest cinematic installment from Nintendo and animation powerhouse Illumination, whose previous collaboration on The Super Mario Bros.

Movie shattered box office records, surpassing $1.3 billion worldwide.

Building on that momentum, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie aims to deliver another vibrant adventure featuring beloved characters Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi.

This release marks Yoshi's expanded role as he joins the main cast, promising fans a fresh take on the iconic Nintendo franchise. To mark this occasion, Nintendo is offering fans an exclusive opportunity to enhance their cinema experience.

The Yoshi popcorn bucket features a creative design—a container shaped like Yoshi’s signature egg, providing a fun and functional way to enjoy popcorn during the screening.

As is typical with themed movie collectibles, the Yoshi popcorn bucket will incur an additional charge on top of standard movie ticket prices. An official statement by AMC Theatres invites fans to enjoy the film and collect one of the brightest figures in the Nintendo universe: “See THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE, opening April 1, and collect a vibrant Yoshi popcorn bucket during your visit.” This release ties into broader Nintendo Switch and Super Mario initiatives this spring.

As part of Mario Day festivities, Nintendo is hosting a dedicated Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct—providing insight into the film’s development, new character reveals, and what series fans can expect from the big-screen adaptation.

Cinemagoers and Nintendo collectors alike are encouraged to check their local AMC listings for availability, as supplies are expected to be limited and demand high following the precedent set by previous Super Mario movie merchandise launches.
