Barbie is being celebrated by moviegoers everywhere. The incredibly pink comedy has been a smash at the box office. Unfortunately, fans hoping for something a little extra like an AMC Theatres Barbie popcorn bucket may have to pay as much as $65.
It’s a price tag that has generated quite a bit of backlash against AMC Theatres. Of course, there are those fans who happily paid the price for their very unique Barbie popcorn bucket. For those fans that really love Barbie, it seems like no price is too high.
With that in mind, here are some of the users that expressed their shock for the costly popcorn buckets:

“Hop in and zoom around Barbie Land! This collectible Barbie car popcorn container recreates the iconic pink corvette seen in Barbie The Movie. With a curvy silhouette and retro trims, the vintage-inspired convertible is a piece of art on four wheels!”
It’s certainly a neat collectors’ item. Though at this point, it looks like the $65 price tag is for a bundle which contains the car and a Barbie doll based on the film. The car by itself is only $35 while a Barbie doll based on the film is about $25. In any case, many fans have still managed to get both, even if there are some upset fans who refuse to pay such prices.
Barbie was directed by Greta Gerwig, who also co-wrote the film’s script with her partner Noah Baumbach.
In addition to Margot Robbie as the titular Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, the film’s ensemble cast also includes Kate McKinnon, Alexandra Shipp, America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Hari Nef, and Will Ferrell.
Fans can now see the film Barbie in theaters. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding the film and star Margot Robbie as we have them.
