The Odyssey Popcorn Bucket Craze Drives Scalper Prices Sky-High
The hottest ticket in town isn't for a seat. It's for the limited-edition popcorn bucket tied to the release of Christopher Nolan's epic "The Odyssey." Per Variety, scoring one of these collectibles, which feature designs like the Trojan Horse or a replica of an Imax camera with a real viewfinder, has proven harder than landing tickets for the film's Imax 70mm screenings.
Scalpers have pounced, driving resale prices into the stratosphere. The bucket is such a phenomenon that director approvals were secured, and it marks the first-ever piece of movie merchandise produced by Imax.
This isn't just a souvenir; it's become a full-blown collectible craze, proving that for some blockbusters, the merch is just as epic as the film itself.
