The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim's popcorn bucket is a massive warhammer
No, you can't do dastardly things with this one, but you can smack the person in the row in front on their phone.
2024 is the year of the popcorn bucket. When the Dune: Part Two promotional popcorn bucket looked a bit too much like it was ready for the bedroom, immediately other movies started following the trend of having viral popcorn buckets.
The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is no different, but instead of going down the NSFW route, instead you'll get a 27-inch warhammer as your promotional item. As reported by The Direct, the hammer's head opens up to store your popcorn, and it'll be $32.99 in AMC theatres. It's currently unknown whether the hammers will be available internationally.
There's also a stein that you can get as a decorative item, but really the hammer is the grand prize. You'll be able to get your hands on it when The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim releases in theatres on the 13th of December.
