Focker-In-Law, the fourth installment in the Meet the Parents film series, arrives in theaters on November 25, 2026. And of course, it has a collectible popcorn bucket.
The popcorn bucket for Focker-In-Law is a lie detector, a nod to the polygraph test Jack Byrnes gives Greg Focker in Meet the Parents. Cinemark has it in theaters now and for $46.95 in its online shop, and Fandango pairs it with a movie ticket for $54.99.
What the Lie Detector Bucket Looks Like
Cinemark’s photos show a gold case shaped like a lie detector, with a carry handle on one side, rows of black knobs, a round dial gauge, a strip of graph paper with readout lines across the top and a black sensor box on a cord. Focker-In-Law is printed in red beside the gauge, and the top panel lifts on a hinge to the compartment where the popcorn goes. Cinemark lists the bucket as plastic, 11.8 by 8.8 by 2.7 inches, holding 85 ounces, and hand wash only.
Where to Buy the Focker-In-Law Bucket
