Movie theater collectibles have become a blockbuster event of their own, and the race to produce the most elaborate popcorn bucket gets fiercer with every major release. With ‘Avengers: Doomsday‘ arriving on Dec. 18, the ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ theater merch lineup is finally taking shape across North America.

The film, directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, brings together the Avengers, the Fantastic Four and the original X-Men against Robert Downey Jr.’s Victor von Doom. It opens the same day as ‘Dune: Part Three’, so theaters are competing for concession-stand attention as well as ticket sales.

For weeks, American fans watched Doctor Doom buckets appear in other countries and wondered when their own theaters would catch up. On Oct. 29, five chains answered at once: AMC, Regal, Cinemark, Harkins and Marcus all revealed their collectibles, and every one of them is selling a Doctor Doom statue bucket.

The road to the reveal was bumpy. A first look at the Doom bucket leaked online in September, and a glowing Doom head went viral in early October.

AMC has four items, available in theaters only while supplies last. The star is the Doctor Doom bucket, a bust of Doom with his arms crossed and glowing green eyes. The Doctor Doom Collectible comes with a large popcorn, and the Bottle of Doom sipper comes with a fountain drink.

Two pieces are AMC exclusives. The Sentinel Head bucket comes with popcorn, while the Team Icon Collectible arrives in three designs featuring the Avengers “A”, the X-Men “X” and the Doom emblem.

Regal’s centerpiece is the Doom’s Throne popcorn container, which puts Doom on a throne above a glowing hexagon base. Regal’s announcement declared, “The countdown to Doomsday continues.”

The chain is also selling the Doctor Doom Statue with a large popcorn. Its other exclusive is the Sentinel Collectible Drink Vessel, a large beverage served inside the head of one of the X-Men’s robotic hunters.

Regal has five items in total, including two combos, at select locations starting Dec. 17. Regal is also promoting collectible 3D glasses for a Dec. 20 RealD 3D fan event.

Cinemark leans hardest into glowing gimmicks. It teased its version of the Doom bucket with the line “A bucket worthy of Doom.”

The LED Doctor Doom Statue Bucket and the LED Doctor Doom Character 3D Cup both light up. Cinemark also lists four souvenir cups and three popcorn tins, one of which is a Cinemark exclusive, and every item comes with free same-day refills.

Harkins reportedly offers a Doctor Doom statue bucket, a throne bucket, a chrome bucket, a throne cup and a Thermos. It also lists a Doctor Doom blanket, according to Fantasy Land News.

Marcus Theatres has its own Doctor Doom statue bucket with a hood that opens to reveal the popcorn inside, plus a Doom cup, a Thermos and a popcorn tin. The full chart of items also carries logos from Alamo, Cineplex, Cinépolis, Galaxy Theatres, CinemaWest, Emagine, Santikos, Megaplex and Malco, which suggests many smaller circuits will stock at least some of the designs.

Only AMC, Regal and Cinemark have exclusive items, so the rest may be available at more theaters than the ones listed. Fans should check with their local theater before Dec. 18 to find out when it will carry each piece.

None of the major chains had announced prices at the time of the reveal. AMC and Regal have listed only a Doctor Doom Mask Light as a $29.99 pre-order, though the Fandango Fan Store is already selling the Doctor Doom statue bucket bundled with an advance ticket for $79.99.

Most items go on sale Dec. 17, the day before the film opens, at AMC, Regal and Harkins. Some theaters will sell merch online, so fans who want a specific bucket should keep an eye on their preferred chain.

Demand for the movie itself is not in doubt. Disney has said ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ passed $50 million in domestic presales more than three months before release, with tickets first going on sale July 20 for premium formats.
