To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Cars, the film is returning to theaters along with new popcorn buckets. Both Cinemark and Regal will have the Lightning McQueen race car popcorn bucket, pictured above. This is very similar in design to the popcorn bucket that was released in the Disney Parks, so now moviegoers can also have the chance to get a design that was previously only available to Disney guests.
