Besides Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, and about 50 other mega movie stars, the main draw for Christopher Nolan’s next movie is IMAX. The Odyssey, as most people probably know by now, is the first feature film ever to be entirely shot in IMAX because, finally, after years of trial and error, the company made a camera that Nolan could use for every scene without worrying about sound and other things.
Basically, IMAX is one of the stars of the movie, which is why this popcorn bucket is truly wild. For The Odyssey, IMAX is releasing an IMAX camera popcorn bucket of the camera used to film The Odyssey. And we don’t care about all your Power Swords or Sandworms; this is the geekiest popcorn bucket ever.
“Lights…camera…popcorn!” the official IMAX site reads. “No moviegoing experience is complete without every cinephile’s favorite snack. Now you can crunch in style with this limited-edition popcorn bucket inspired by the legendary IMAX 15/65mm Camera, the very camera Christopher Nolan has called ‘the Gold Standard’ and used on films such as The Dark Knight, Interstellar, and The Odyssey. A tribute to IMAX’s groundbreaking film technology and the craft of filmmaking, this collectible bucket features a viewfinder that lights up to reveal a scene from Christopher Nolan’s latest epic in IMAX’s exclusive 1.43:1 Expanded Aspect Ratio. Here’s a video too.
It's no myth. We turned our iconic Film Camera into a popcorn bucket. 😎🍿 Featuring a scene in our exclusive 1.43:1 Expanded Aspect Ratio in the viewfinder, it’s one of the models Christopher Nolan used during the filming of #TheOdysseyMovie. Now that's history-making.… pic.twitter.com/iJXe9vpAbv

The official site also adds that “quantities are limited,” and that’s the problem here. These went up for presale along with tickets to see The Odyssey in IMAX on Thursday and have already sold out. For now. There’s always a chance local IMAX theaters have a few, or there’s a restock. Plus, we are pretty sure we’ll get a Trojan Horse or Cyclops bucket at some point too. But, in terms of just the most niche, wonderful popcorn bucket ever, this is right near the top.
The Odyssey opens July 17, and premium format tickets are on sale now. You can find out more about the popcorn bucket here.
