These Minecraft-themed novelties are the latest in a trend that has been captivating audiences since the 2019 release of 'Rise of Skywalker' with its iconic R2-D2 popcorn bucket. That viral sensation from over six years ago sparked a wave of excitement among theater executives, leading to a fun yet somewhat overdone and pricey tradition. However, if it encourages more people to enjoy the theatrical experience, it's a trend worth celebrating.
