What's Happening?
Cinemark is bringing back its popular 'Bring Your Own Bucket' (BYOB) event for National Popcorn Day, allowing customers to fill any container up to 400 ounces with popcorn for $5 plus tax. This year, the event is scheduled for January 18 and 19, in collaboration with Lowe's. Customers who bring a blue 5-gallon Lowe's bucket can exceed the 400-ounce limit and receive coupons for future popcorn purchases. The event also includes various promotions, such as a free medium popcorn with the purchase of a medium fountain drink and a chance to win a year of free popcorn through an online game. Cinemark encourages participants to share their creative bucket choices on social media.
