Theater Chains Roll Out TRON: Ares Light-Up Lightcycle Buckets and Exclusive Merch Ahead of Release

Limited-run souvenirs aim to boost opening-weekend turnout.

Overview

  • Regal confirmed via its official Twitter that a Lightcycle popcorn container will be sold at select locations when the film opens, available only while supplies last.
  • Cinemark is promoting a lineup that includes oversized popcorn and drink containers plus a 3D Light Cycle popcorn bucket that lights up.
  • AMC says it will stock the Light Cycle bucket in limited quantities and offer its own exclusives, including a Dolby Cinemas keychain available only on October 12.
  • Alamo Drafthouse is offering limited-edition TRON: Ares pint glasses that can be pre-ordered with tickets while supplies last.
  • Most outlets list October 10 for the U.S. theatrical and IMAX opening, though an AMC tweet advertises 10/9 at its theaters, and one report notes pricing similar to a premium large popcorn with a small refill voucher.
