Fans of the Scary Movie film series are familiar with how many lines the movies can cross, and the promotional efforts for the sixth installment are up to the task. With mere weeks remaining until Scary Movie 6 hits theaters, Paramount Pictures has unveiled a distinctive popcorn bucket design intended for moviegoers—and perhaps cannabis enthusiasts—to appreciate, though it appears this won’t be a reality.
“Y’all weren’t ready,” was the caption accompanying a joint Instagram video posted on May 21 by Paramount, Miramax, and Scary Movie 6, showcasing the unconventional popcorn bucket.
The upcoming sixth chapter in the popular comedy franchise is slated to satirize recent blockbuster horror movies, including but not limited to, Scream VI, Sinners, Weapons, The Substance, M3GAN, Wednesday, Get Out, Smile, Terrifier, and Longlegs.
Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Regina Hall, and Anna Faris have reunited for the forthcoming film, which hints that “every line will be crossed.”
During a prior conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Marlon alluded to the extent the film will go.
“What we’re endeavoring to do is bring back humor,” he remarked to the publication in March. “This is about resurrecting comedy as it once was. And I believe the sole method to achieve this is by rejecting cancel culture.”
Here’s a summary of our current understanding regarding the acquisition and availability of the Scary Movie 6 popcorn bucket.
What Does the Scary Movie 6 Popcorn Bucket Resemble?
The popcorn bucket is designed to resemble a bong, straightforwardly put. Its elongated cylindrical body and circular base are intended to hold popcorn, while the smaller tube appears to function as a butter dispenser.
In the film’s Instagram video announcement, the bucket featured simulated smoke effects for a dramatic—and humorous—presentation for cannabis users.

Director Michael Tiddes stated in an Instagram comment that it was indeed real, but this seems to have been merely a promotional tactic.
What Is the Price of the Scary Movie 6 Popcorn Bucket?
Paramount Pictures has not officially disclosed the price for each Scary Movie 6 popcorn bucket, though it is slated to be offered in four distinct sizes. Consequently, the cost of each “bong” will vary based on its dimensions.
Generally, popcorn buckets are known for their considerable expense. For instance, a promotional red “purse” for The Devil Wears Prada 2 was priced at approximately $40.
