The Cat in the Hat popcorn buckets come in two shapes from the Dr. Seuss book, the Cat’s striped top hat and the goldfish’s bowl, and AMC and Regal each sell both for the movie, which opened Nov. 6. AMC also has a bucket topped with Thing 1’s shaggy blue hair, and the Fish Bowl was sold out in both chains’ online shops on Nov. 10.
AMC’s Top Hat, Fish Bowl and Thing Hair Buckets
AMC’s Food & Drink page says its Cat in the Hat concession collectibles are available in theaters only, while supplies last, and the graphic on that page shows six of them:
- Top Hat bucket: the Cat’s tall red-and-white striped hat with a white brim, holding 65 ounces.
- Fish Bowl bucket: a clear plastic bowl with The Cat in the Hat logo on the front and an orange fish perched on the rim, holding 100 ounces.
- Thing hair bucket: a round tin with the movie’s logo and a red Thing 1 tag, topped with shaggy blue hair.
- Thing 3 cup: a 23-ounce cup shaped like Thing 3, with blue hair, big round glasses and a straw.
- Topper cup: a printed cup with a Cat in the Hat figure standing on the lid.
- Clip-on plush: a boxed plush with one surprise character inside, with the Cat, Thing 1 and Thing 3 shown.
AMC hasn’t posted theater prices, but its online shop sells the Top Hat for $28.95 and the Thing 3 cup for $22.95, both with an Add to Cart button on Nov. 10. The shop lists the Fish Bowl at $26.95, marked sold out that night. It limits each piece to three per customer, and every sale is final. The Thing hair bucket, the topper cup and the plush aren’t sold in the shop.
The fine print on AMC’s graphic says gourmet popcorn is excluded, the drink collectibles come with fountain drinks only, and AMC Stubs upgrades don’t apply. AMC also has a blue raspberry Blue Thing Blast ICEE for the movie, and its Snack-in-a-Pack comes with a large popcorn, two large drinks or ICEEs, and two candies or cotton candies to share.
Regal’s Cat’s Hat and Fish Bowl Buckets
Regal’s Cat’s Hat Popcorn Bucket is a tall red-and-white striped hat that comes with a large popcorn, part of the Cat in the Hat merchandise Regal started selling Nov. 5.
Regal’s Fish Bowl Popcorn Bucket is a clear round bowl with an orange fish on the rim and the movie’s logo on the front, and it comes filled with a large popcorn too. Both Regal buckets are at select theaters while supplies last. Regal’s online store lists the Fishbowl bucket at $26.99, marked sold out on Nov. 10, and doesn’t carry the Cat’s Hat.
Regal is also selling a collectible combo, a plush and a Cat in the Hat ICEE for the movie:
- The Cat in the Hat Collectible Combo: a cup with the Cat standing on its lid and a red popcorn tub, filled with popcorn and soda.
- Thing 3 Shoulder Buddy: a fluffy Thing 3 plush with blue hair, round glasses and a red Thing 3 shirt.
- I See ICEE: cherry ICEE topped with cold foam and blue cotton candy.
The combo and the Shoulder Buddy are also at select Regal theaters while supplies last, and Regal’s page doesn’t list a price for any of the collectibles.
Buying tickets to The Cat in the Hat at Regal also enters Regal Crown Club members in the Imagination Adventure Sweepstakes for a family trip to New York City.
Cinemark’s Thing 3 Cup
Cinemark hasn’t posted a Cat in the Hat popcorn bucket on its movie page or in its online shop. The shop sells the same 23-ounce Thing 3 cup as AMC, listed as The Cat in the Hat GRIPPR Cup Thing 3, for $19.95 against AMC’s $22.95, with an Add to Cart button on Nov. 10. Cinemark’s movie page also offers a limited-time Cat in the Hat gift card.
The Cat in the Hat Is in Theaters Now
The Cat in the Hat, an animated movie from Warner Bros., is rated PG and runs 1 hour and 54 minutes. In it, the Cat has one chance to prove himself by cheering up two siblings and their grumpy goldfish after a move, without making a mess.
AMC’s collectibles are on AMC’s Food & Drink page, and Regal’s buckets, combo and sweepstakes are on Regal’s Cat in the Hat page.
