isn't out until October 2, but capitalism has never let inconvenient timing get in the way of a good merchandising opportunity. Sony's upcoming first-party samurai-savvy sequel has joined in on the odd but profitable tre💙nd of movies getting their own official popcorn buckets. There's only one twist: Ghost of Yotei is, needless to say, not a movie.

The bucket was available for p⭕urchase at , the online marketplace for all things Alamo Drafthouse, for just a handful of hours before selling out entirely. "This beautifully crafted bucket, shaped like a traditional Japanese rice basket," the official description reads, "is the perfect keepsake for any aspiring warrior." I'd rather have a sword, but what do I know?

A fake rice basket to keep your popcorn contained is an odd prospect on the best of days, but at least it makes some semblance of sense. The item's a tie-in for Alamo Drafthouse's 'Way of the Samurai' event which will feature five famous Japanese films. pitches this nifty-sounding celebration as follo💧ws:

This August, we invite film lovers and modern-day ronin alike to step into the cinematic world of honor, vengeance, and swordplay with Way of the Samurai, a curated fi𒐪lm series inspired by the upcoming PlayStation release, Ghost of Yotei. From August 2nd through September 4th, select Alamo theaters will showcase five iconic samurai films that helped define the genre.

The collection of classics will include Lady Snowblood, Lone Wolf and Cu𒅌b: Sword of Vengeance, The Tale of Zatoichi, 13 Assassins, and Ran.

A Slew Of Jokes Abound, And They're Precisely What You Think They Are

Apart from the understandable queries as to why this thing exists - see above, but I still get the sentiment - scores of gaming enthusiasts have been 🐭cracking smart that the piece is for all that popcorn you'll be consuming whilst watching, rather than playing, protagonist Anzu's⭕ quest for revenge against the dreaded Yotei Six.

commenter Eternalm8 chimed in that "there's just that many cutscenes". They're far from alone. posted a meme image about a guy who boots up a Sony ♕game only to begin eating popcorn just one minute⭕ later.

"The jokes write themselves," sums it up. And the thing is,🦋 I can't really disagree with them. Mind you, I adore Metal Gear Solid 4, so I'm hardly one to complain about whatever relentless slew of cutscenes Sucker Punch Productions has in store for me. All the same, I reckon🌊 if any game's going to give us time to chow down, it's a Sony original.

It's 🍎possible Ghost of Yotei's popcorn bucket will pop up for sale at AlamoMart again at some point in the future. You can also check Alamo Drafthouse loca🎶tions directly at any point from August 2nd onwards to see if they've got any in stock. Or you can save yourself $40 and live the rest of your life without this bizarre bit of merch.
