Gladiator II Launches Unique Popcorn Bucket

The promotional campaign for 'Gladiator II' is heating up with the unveiling of an innovative 'AR-ena Popcorn Bucket' shaped like a Roman Colosseum, featuring augmented reality technology that reveals a gladiator battle when a QR code is scanned. This bucket follows a trend of collectible popcorn containers tied to major film releases, with notable entries from 'Dune: Part II' and 'Deadpool & Wolverine.' Furthermore, Pepsi has launched a campaign featuring Megan Thee Stallion and NFL stars, promoting the film alongside a new TV spot and collector cans with augmented reality. Fans have reacted enthusiastically to the bucket design, calling it 'epic' and expressing excitement for the interactive experience. The film, directed by Ridley Scott, is set to release on November 22, 2024, and the popcorn bucket will be available at Cinemark and other participating theaters. As the promotional efforts ramp up, anticipation grows for both the movie and its unique merchandise.
