AMC Avengers: Doomsday Popcorn Buckets Arrive December 17

By Jessy • Nov 1, 2026

Key Points

  • AMC Theatres revealed four Avengers: Doomsday concession collectibles, and two of them are sold only at AMC.
  • They are reported to go on sale December 17, while supplies last. No prices have been announced yet.
  • Each piece comes with popcorn or a fountain drink, and the pieces are sold in theaters only.

AMC Theatres has shown the popcorn buckets and drink vessels coming to its concession stands for Avengers: Doomsday. The lineup is led by a Sentinel Head bucket you can only get at AMC. AMC posted the lineup on its social channels, and entertainment outlets covered it between October 29 and October 31. If you collect or flip theater buckets, here is what is confirmed so far and what is still unknown.

What AMC's Avengers: Doomsday Collectibles Are

WDW News Today listed four items in AMC's lineup. Here is each one, described from the outlets that showed the official photos:

  • Sentinel Head (AMC exclusive): a purple Sentinel head with green eyes that holds popcorn. Sentinels are the giant mutant-hunting robots from the X-Men comics. Attractions Magazine notes they first showed up in an X-Men issue in 1965.
  • Doctor Doom Collectible: a bust of Doom with his arms crossed and glowing green eyes, sold with popcorn. Cosmic Book News called it the star of the lineup.
  • Bottle of Doom: a drink vessel shaped like Doom's hooded head, sold with a fountain drink.
  • Team Icon Collectible (AMC exclusive): a glowing hexagon sold with popcorn, in three designs: the Avengers logo, the X-Men logo and Doom.

The Doom statue bucket is not unique to AMC. Fantasy Land News reported that Regal, Cinemark, Harkins and Marcus each have a version of it too. The Sentinel Head and the Team Icon pieces are the ones you can only find at AMC.

When and Where the AMC Buckets Drop

Here is the timing and the fine print, as reported in late October 2026:

DetailAs reported
On saleDecember 17, the day before the film opens December 18
WhereAMC theaters only, at the concession stand
QuantityWhile supplies last
PriceNot announced yet
What comes with itPopcorn or a fountain drink, depending on the item

WDW News Today, Fantasy Land News and Attractions Magazine all give December 17 as the start date. Cosmic Book News lists December 18, the movie's opening day. Avengers: Doomsday opens in US theaters December 18, 2026, so plan around the earlier date and confirm it in the AMC app as it gets close.

Fantasy Land News also reported the fine print. Gourmet popcorn is not included, the drinks are fountain only, and AMC Stubs upgrades do not apply to these items. It also reported that no chain had shared prices for its Doomsday collectibles yet. Treat any price you see before AMC posts one as unconfirmed. Dates, prices and what each theater gets can all change.

Other chains are on a similar schedule. Regal and Harkins are also reported to start December 17. Cinemark and Marcus have only said "coming soon."

Early Resale Signs for the Doomsday Buckets

The AMC pieces are still six weeks away, and no named outlet has reported sellouts or counted sold listings for them yet.

The one thing reported so far is a warning. Fantasy Land News said fake Avengers: Doomsday buckets showed up on AliExpress the week before the US reveals. If you plan to buy or sell these, compare any listing against AMC's official photos. Be careful with listings that claim to have stock before December 17.

Quantities per theater have not been announced. Concession promos like this can run out unevenly from one location to the next, the same way the reported McDonald's Pokemon Happy Meal toys are a food promo offered while supplies last. Ask staff about any per-guest limit, follow it, and leave some for the fans who came to see the movie.

The rest of the film's merch is moving too. Packaging photos have already shown limited edition Avengers Doomsday Funko Pops of Professor X and Red Guardian. That post covers what is confirmed for those.

Bottom Line

AMC has confirmed four Doomsday concession collectibles. The Sentinel Head and the three Team Icon designs are AMC exclusives, and the reported on-sale date is December 17. Prices and quantities are still unknown, and knockoffs are already out there, so wait for AMC's own details before you buy or list anything.
