The cinema chain is encouraging viewers to push their creative boundaries by bringing their most unique containers to their nearest location for only a $5 refill of [fresh popcorn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-secret-readytoeat-popcorn). It can be filled in a top hat or even a [sand bucket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bucket-of-bites) as the campaign ensures to offer the most fun cinematic experience with the buttery snack. Participants must bring a clean and lidded container, so long as it does not hold more than 170 ounces -- this is about 5 liters. Bringing this to their local Cinemark, they will get a discounted refill.
