We're talking about elaborate, movie-inspired popcorn buckets. The new animated Lord of the Rings movie's tie-in bucket could have some getting 'a-salted' with butter and hot kernels.

Yes, some of these containers hold our interest more than the movies they're based on. Is this a gimmick that will run its course, or will it become the norm for most releases? With many theaters struggling to survive and fans forking over cash, it's a good bet they won't be kicking this bucket anytime soon.
