Cinemark's Gladiator II AR-enabled popcorn bucket claims 'you can eat war'


The popcorn bucket wars just became very literal with Cinemark's latest entry for Gladiator II.

The theater chain's new entry is not only shaped like the Roman colosseum, it plays a cutesy augmented reality gladiator battle when you point your smartphone at QR code on the bottom (AR-ENA, get it?). Sure, you might need to wipe off some popcorn grease to read the Cinemark bucket's QR code, and the AR animation of two fighting gladiators is reminiscent of a PlayStation 2 render. If you're looking to expand your collection, the Gladiator II popcorn bucket will arrive "soon" and the movie itself hits theaters on November 22.
