Cinemark is executing an innovative promotional event for National Popcorn Day that expands on the brand's established 'Bring Your Own Bucket' initiative. The cinema destination is now offering this campaign as a two-day celebration in partnership with the home improvement retailer Lowe's.
Cinemark's 'Bring Your Own Bucket' activation allows moviegoers to bring virtually any container to a theater and fill it with a substantial quantity of popcorn — up to 400 ounces — for the nominal flat fee of $5 plus tax. Individuals who bring the iconic Lowe's five-gallon bucket, however, are exempt from the 400-ounce rule and may fill up the entire container with popcorn.
Cinemark's 'Bring Your Own Bucket' event is supplemented by various digital sweepstakes, discounted gift cards, and related concessions promotions to amplify engagement.
