These Minecraft-themed novelties continue a trend that became popular with the 2019 release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker's R2-D2 popcorn bucket. The viral success of that item inspired theater executives to explore more themed merchandise, creating a modern theatrical tradition that, while somewhat overdone and pricey, keeps audiences engaged and excited about the cinema experience.
