Weeks before Scary Movie 6 hits theaters, Paramount Pictures, Miramax, and the film’s social team unveiled a popcorn bucket shaped like a bong—complete with dramatic smoke. The bucket lands for purchase on June 5, 2026, in four sizes, as the movie readies its
A bong-shaped popcorn bucket is ready to steal the spotlight weeks before Scary Movie 6 even reaches theaters.
Paramount Pictures. Miramax and Scary Movie 6 teamed up for a playful Instagram video on May 21. captioning it: “Y’all weren’t ready.” The marketing is unmistakable: the franchise is leaning into the kind of boundary-pushing comedy Scary Movie fans expect—just with movie snacks instead of punchlines.
The sixth installment arrives with a clear mission. It’s expected to parody recent hit horror films, including Scream VI, Sinners, Weapons, The Substance, M3GAN, Wednesday, Get Out, Smile, Terrifier, Longlegs and others.
On the screen, the franchise brings back a familiar lineup. Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans are reuniting with Regina Hall and Anna Faris for the upcoming movie, which teases that “every line will be crossed.”
Marlon Wayans has already framed the tone of the project in a way that matches the popcorn-bucket energy. In a previous interview with Entertainment Weekly in March. he said. “What we’re trying to do is bring back laughter. ” adding: “This is about bringing back comedy the way it used to be. And I think the only way to do it is you have to cancel the cancel culture.”.
The Instagram announcement turns that idea into something you can hold. The Scary Movie 6 popcorn bucket is shaped like a bong. with an elongated tube and globe base designed to contain the popcorn. A smaller tube appears to function like a butter dispenser. In the video. the bucket also comes with billowing smoke. giving it a dramatic—if obviously comedic—effect for the stoners it seems built for.
Paramount Pictures has not confirmed what any individual bucket will cost. The only pricing-related detail so far is that the bong-shaped popcorn bucket will be available in four different sizes, meaning the price will depend on which version people pick.
Popcorn buckets can get expensive, and the marketing has already hinted at that reality. The Devil Wears Prada 2 promoted a red “purse” that cost around $40.
For fans planning ahead, the purchase date is set. The popcorn “bong” bucket will become available on June 5, 2026—the day Scary Movie 6 releases in theaters—available at AMC and Regal cinemas.
It’s a fun piece of franchise theater, timed perfectly to land right as the film’s horror parody countdown begins: the movie’s “every line will be crossed” promise meets a snack accessory that doesn’t seem interested in playing it safe.

So it’s literally a bong popcorn bucket?? Lmao that’s wild, like can they even sell that at AMC without getting complaints.
I saw this on TikTok and I swear they said it comes with actual weed?? Like why else would it be shaped like that. Either way, cancel culture needs to calm down.
Wait, isn’t this just a marketing stunt? They’re acting like it’s some serious “horror parody” thing but it’s literally a snack container with smoke effects. Also why are they bringing up Scream VI and M3GAN like I’m supposed to care about popcorn sizes.
June 5 2026 at AMC and Regal, cool cool. But do they really have four sizes?? Like is one for kids and one for stoners and one for people who hate stoners. I’m confused how the “butter dispenser” tube works too, like you gonna get dairy in a bong-shaped thing.
