Greetings, travelers of the Outer Rim! The countdown to the highly anticipated theatrical release of The Mandalorian and Grogu is rapidly approaching, with the film officially landing in theaters on May 22. But before Din Djarin and our favorite Force-sensitive foundling make the jump to the big screen, fans have another exciting date to mark on their galactic calendars. Starting May 21, select Cineplex locations will be rolling out a spectacular line of exclusive theatrical merchandise that you will not want to miss.
We have your first look at The Mandalorian and Grogu Cineplex merch, and it is safe to say that the theater chain is pulling out all the stops for this release. From incredibly detailed premium popcorn buckets to highly collectible drinkware, there is something here for everyone looking to celebrate the cinematic return of this iconic duo. Let us dive into the full bounty.
Premium Popcorn Vessels Fit for a Mandalore
The undeniable centerpieces of this new merchandise wave are the popcorn buckets, which have evolved from simple containers into true collector’s items. First up is the massive AT-AT Premium Bucket. Modeled after the iconic Imperial walkers, this highly detailed gray bucket looks like it marched right off the frozen plains of Hoth and into your local Cineplex. It is a striking piece that blends classic Star Wars nostalgia with the new cinematic era.
If you are looking for something with a little more of a personal touch, the Grogu Tin Bucket is an absolute must-have. This unique design features a beautifully sculpted, dimensional Grogu seemingly hugging or holding onto a sleek, matte black tin bucket. The bucket itself is adorned with the official The Mandalorian and Grogu logo in its striking green and white typography. Having Grogu “guard” your theater snacks is a brilliant design choice that is sure to be a massive hit with fans across the galaxy.
Quench Your Thirst in the Outer Rim
Cineplex is also delivering big on their beverage containers, offering a variety of ways to sip your blue milk (or soda) in style. The Cup & Topper combination is a classic theater staple, but this lineup takes it to the next level. The cup itself features gorgeous, vibrant wraparound artwork of Din Djarin and Grogu standing against a brilliant, sun-drenched planetary backdrop. But the real draw here is the array of collectible toppers. Fans can hunt down four different figures to snap onto their lids: a striking half-bust of the Mandalorian, Grogu peering curiously through a spyglass, Grogu using the Force with his hand outstretched, and, of course, Grogu happily snacking on a bowl of treats.
For those who prefer a more streamlined look, the Grogu Dome Lid Cup offers a fantastic alternative. This sleek, translucent dark green cup features a prominent print of Grogu’s adorable face looking up at you. The top features a clear dome lid, housing a miniature figurine of Grogu sitting peacefully inside, surrounded by what appears to be floating macro-macarons. It comes complete with a matching green straw, making it the perfect companion for your theater viewing experience.
Collectibles for the Journey Ahead
Rounding out this stellar assortment is the Tin Box with Keychain. This classic, lunchbox-style tin features a beautiful collage of promotional artwork, highlighting Din Djarin, Grogu, and various action-packed scenes from the upcoming film. The text “This is the Way” is proudly displayed at the bottom of the tin. As a fantastic bonus, this tin comes with a heavy-duty, sculpted keychain of the Mandalorian himself, allowing you to carry a piece of the adventure with you long after the credits roll.
How to Secure Your Bounty
This incredible wave of The Mandalorian and Grogu Cineplex merch will officially be available at select Cineplex locations starting May 21, a full day before the movie’s May 22 premiere. As always with these highly sought-after theater exclusives, supplies will be strictly limited, and there will be no rain checks.
If you want to secure the AT-AT bucket or collect all four cup toppers, we highly recommend getting to your local Cineplex as early as possible on the 21st. May the Force be with you on your merch hunt, and we will see you at the movies! Stay tuned to Outer Rim News for more updates as we get closer to the premiere.
