hey there! I am actually the guy in charge of making this container, glad you enjoyed it! and trust me, all of the nitpicks you had with it I also had them... a year ago lol, but as you said not really a high-end collectible so we had a lot of tight limitations, fun fact: the reason the wheels don't roll (on top of your popcorn driving away) is because that would change its import classification from "container" to "toy" and it is more expensive to export toys
@@loganwillis8635 that's an issue with the cinemas which happens all over the world and fun fact, they don't care, the know that scalpers will basically camp until the cinema opens, and buy the whole stock day 1 (and that's without mentioning when their own employees hide some stock to buy it themselves at the end of their shift) we've talked with them and they act like they are worried about it and want to fix it but, honestly, as long as the item is paid they don't care who gets it I guess they enjoy the artificial demand that creates too because they are also fixed on not increasing the order qty to increase overall availability so we can't produce more than what they order and even then, by the time the movie hits the theatres we are already 4 months into the next project so even IF we were to do a re-order due to client demand it would take around 2 months for it to be produced and shipped The only solution I can give you is to look for a theatre in your are that isn't that popular that may have some leftover stock
Saw it last night in imax, thoroughly enjoyed it start to finish, laughed, cried and smiled a lot, the story is interesting as well... can't wait to see it again! And get that popcorn container lol
So fitting to hear my cover song rock out the end of another great video. Jason, I thank you for using it as we counted down to this day, and for all your great videos!
AMC handled this terribly. California went from 12 locations to 2 that were listed as having these. I drove 2 hours today to go see the movie and pick one up at 1 of the 2 but upon arrival everyone was informed that they didn’t have any. Over hearing people in line it appears the other location was the only one in California to get some
@@justinxpwsane Wow, that's a bummer. Sound like you put in a lot of effort. But, I'll also mention that it was a limited run of these popcorn containers. I'm sure Jason even mentioned it in a previous video. But still, no doubt it's incredibly frustrating to drive so far to have nothing tangible for your effort. That sucks.
@@bobfromjob yea I understood these were limited. That’s why they released the list of theaters. The manager at the location I went to said they were supposed to get 80 and I was the 6th or 7th person in line. There’s people with boxes of them on eBay/marketplace selling for $100+ a day or two before the early Thursday screenings
AMC really pissed me off. Before the movie launched, they had a TON of theaters listed in California. I bought tickets to go there and then they REDUCED the amount of theaters and they cut out the one that i got my tickets from. I"M SUPER PISSED
Everything online said opening night only and listed the 19th. Well my theater showed it on the 18th so they were all sold out when I went to see it yesterday. A big fail on their part for both of us.
So glad the box makes it clear that this is a replica and not the actual Ecto-1. Still, for a popcorn container, this actually looks fantastic. Almost makes me want to see the movie at AMC.
The AMC theater in ohio said each AMC location only got 9 buckets so they were sold out immediately a friend went for the first showing today and they were already gone. But they did say they would be available online in the next couple weeks.
Looks great! Makes me realize that the Ecto in the movie is an old version of the car in GB1. Makes me wonder what happened to all the modifications the guys made to the Ecto in GB2.
Can I assume we will get a movie review from yourself..? I saw it here today in the UK and it was amazing. Everything I hoped and more. I really want to hear and see your reaction (especially after your trailer reactions). Enjoy the movie.
My only gripe is that the interior looks very hard to clean butter out of. Would be nice to know if it was dishwasher safe but I doubt it given the intricate parts on the roof.
Consider yourself lucky.....our AMC theater here in Ohio didn't have them. "We ordered them but they're not here. Try calling Friday..." No names were being taken....I get to call and take my chances, if any. BUT...THE MOVIE WAS GREAT. I ALMOST WENT BACK FOR A SECOND HELPING!
I only own Hot Wheels, regular sized version, both Ecto-1, and their The Real Ghostbusters, Ecto-1, and their 2016 1989, Ecto-1, and their larger version of Ecto-1. Hopefully I will be able to procure Jada Toys version, and Johnny Lightning's version. This one looks incredible as well. Take care, and all the best.
The Cineplex theatre in my city has a tin bucket with Mini-Pufts on one side and the logo on the other. Not sure if there was a matching cup but my theatre is still catching up on things here.
I saw the movie and got my hands on one of those ecto-1 containers. The movie was really good it almost made me cry. Also I just ordered a Egon Spengler Funko pop because he’s my favorite ghostbuster. Rip Harold Ramis
Wow I wonder how they determined how many to give each theater I counted around twenty in peoples hands, two more they had displayed , and the employee told me they had more in the back
Holy crap, seriously?! Which two are they? I live in southern California. I have seen in the comments here and in a Facebook group that they will be releasing these popcorn buckets online next week. I hope that's true and I hope there is enough to compensate for the filthy scalpers who are ruining it for people.
Yeah I live up in northern NY near the Canadian border. All the theaters around here are Regal so I don't get a shot at getting one of these. Saw the movie yesterdayduring its very first showing at 4 pm and there were no promotional giveaways :(
Went to the opening of Ghostbuster afterlife at the AMC theater. And my wife and I went to purchase our ecto-1 popcorn tub, however we were told that there was a problem with their shipment of ecto-1 popcorn tubs and that they're being sold on the AMC theater store website. Could you find out what and why this was?
Missed out on this unfortunately,my local AMC had none in stock when I arrived and didn't know when they'd ever get them,as for the movie, it was amazing,can't wait to see it again
Already got mine as soon as I got it I put it in the car and locked it up and got my popcorn when I went back in I had to drive to like three AMC Theaters just to find this
Just picked one up and it’s awesome. I was kind of bummed that the wheels don’t move but it’s still a solid promo. I don’t think popcorn will ever go in my Ecto 1 lol
Sucks they don't have them at my theater. Watch the movie 3 times already and it is so freaking awesome well done Ghost Corps amd cast and Jason Reitman hats off to you good sir. Oklahoma Ghostbuster- Tommy Gregory
I went to a different theater than AMC last night but stopped by the AMC just now and they sold me one without the ticket. They did say "Let me check if we still have any." So take that into account.
Totally think they should've made a Ghost Trap Popcorn bowl.
Yeah it would have held more. This doesn't look like it holds much popcorn
This aged spectacularly
My Cinemark theater had a Stay Puft popcorn bucket and some collectible cups and lids.

interesting!
If you really are the creator of the popcorn container, make more! They get sold out just for people to resell them at a higher price! 😡

and a good number of us dropping a good swear on the jumpscare
Same here went and saw it in IMAX last night and heading to AMC tonight for the popcorn bucket.
They sold out on opening Night (Thursday)
So fitting to hear my cover song rock out the end of another great video. Jason, I thank you for using it as we counted down to this day, and for all your great videos!
Love the song rendition
@@pnrcomps thanks! I'm working on more.
I eagerly await Jason’s thoughts and review on Afterlife.
This thing looks pretty awesome
Absolute great job by AMC with this promotion! I wish I had a AMC local to my area. I'd totally buy and support them.

The ectos will be available next week on the AMC website
Is that just a hopeful guess?
We got one!
Just got home from seeing GB: Afterlife along with my Ecto-1 popcorn bucket!!

AMC tweeted today that they secured more and will be selling them online Monday at noon. Fingers crossed they don't get scalped big time.
Mine in Colorado never got the shipment in, luckly I got one else where.
@@SilentHERO85 after I bought mine ,I was told they were on back order and i was told you should get yours in January
@@Michael1986443 wow, I was able to order online but we'll see when it actually arrives.
So glad the box makes it clear that this is a replica and not the actual Ecto-1.
Still, for a popcorn container, this actually looks fantastic. Almost makes me want to see the movie at AMC.
I wonder if someone has customized the interior to fit figures. Like adding seats and or the gunner seat
The AMC theater in ohio said each AMC location only got 9 buckets so they were sold out immediately a friend went for the first showing today and they were already gone. But they did say they would be available online in the next couple weeks.
The movie was everything we all have wanted. Can't wait to see your review!!
Looks great! Makes me realize that the Ecto in the movie is an old version of the car in GB1. Makes me wonder what happened to all the modifications the guys made to the Ecto in GB2.
Ray and/or Egon probably felt that the mods were unnecessary or bulky, and either simplified them to take up less room, or got rid of them altogether.
Just saw the movie and it was so good!
How much does it cost
I went to AMC, for my second viewing of the movie, on Sunday and they do not have the ecto-1 because that was on the 18th of November only
Awesome, this makes me want to rewatch the movie to go and get one now.
Can I assume we will get a movie review from yourself..? I saw it here today in the UK and it was amazing. Everything I hoped and more. I really want to hear and see your reaction (especially after your trailer reactions). Enjoy the movie.
Oh man. Wish there was an AMC near me. We only have Regal.
I'm a distributor who sells these for AMC in the US. We had a lot of these signed by Dan Akroyd which may be available on eBay now.
The pos scaplers already selling them for 200 to 400 on ebay
Gonna see the film in less than 24 hours
My only gripe is that the interior looks very hard to clean butter out of. Would be nice to know if it was dishwasher safe but I doubt it given the intricate parts on the roof.

The Cineplex theatre in my city has a tin bucket with Mini-Pufts on one side and the logo on the other. Not sure if there was a matching cup but my theatre is still catching up on things here.
The AMC near me is giving away a Ghostbusters pinball machine this weekend
My theatre didn't get these. They only had buckets and cups. I'd like to see this compared to the Plasma series Ecto-1
Went to the theater tonight to see it. LOVED IT!!!!
It’s a bummer that I’m never going to see one of these in my house ever. Impossible to get in my area.
AWESOME!!!! AMC should have also made a popcorn container that looks like the ghost trap
Huh. Closest AMC is 65 miles away. If we weren't expecting lake effect snow, I'd go grab one. Man, that looks awesome.
Movie was awesome!!!!! Stay through the credits all the way
I saw the movie and got my hands on one of those ecto-1 containers. The movie was really good it almost made me cry. Also I just ordered a Egon Spengler Funko pop because he’s my favorite ghostbuster. Rip Harold Ramis
My local only got 15 and they're almost gone. Was told they'd be available on their merch store once the theaters are sold out .
Wow I wonder how they determined how many to give each theater I counted around twenty in peoples hands, two more they had displayed , and the employee told me they had more in the back
just got mine a an hour ago
I think the AMC one is true 1:18 scale. The Plasma still skimped around the front doors and shortened them.
I grabbed one today!! Only ONE of two AMCs that are participating in this in all of California. BTW the film is amazing!! Bring lots of tissue!
Holy crap, seriously?! Which two are they? I live in southern California. I have seen in the comments here and in a Facebook group that they will be releasing these popcorn buckets online next week. I hope that's true and I hope there is enough to compensate for the filthy scalpers who are ruining it for people.
@@angelapileggi6031 AMC 18 at Del Amo in Torrance. The other is somewhere up north I believe.
@@angelapileggi6031 i share your pain my friend. I feel the same especially about the whole EctoCooler thing
1 hour 30 mins till I get to watch the new Ghostbusters!!!
Got one, its awesome, its a high-end collectible for a popcorn bucket lol
I need to know your reaction to the film, saw it tonight and I was crying nerdy tears so much.
Wish I could get my hands on one. Only theater participating in WA state is in Vancover... hours and hours away. Sigh
Do to work I'm going Sunday & I'm getting that popcorn holder!!!
4:50 I think I do want a popcorn container that rolls!
i was so mad. im from ireland and theres no amc cinemas here. Same with target exclusives and stuff.
New drinking game, take a drink ever time he says pop corn container
How did you get one? I went to my Cineplex first showing and there was nothing :(
How do you clean the container after eating the buttery popcorn?
Pre-ordered mine. I can't wait. It will arrive just in time for the digital release, that I have already pre-ordered. Lol
The yellow stripes make the box look like a trsp
SO Cool. I sure hope to get my hands on Ghostbusters Afterlife popcorn container someday. Someday.😊🤞
I went to Cinemark and got the Mini Puft tub last night when to see Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Oh, if you must know, I enjoyed the movie.
I would've preferred a ghost trap popcorn container myself.
This is really cool. I'd love to get one of these but our AMC theater closed last year.
Saw it last night and the movie is absolutely perfect
SEEING IT TONIGHT IN 3 HOURS !! REGAL RPX LFG!
Wish AMC allowed select Cineplex Odeon's across Canada to carry this thing, a really missed opportunity for us Canadian Ghostbusters fan's.
I absolutely love the movie I actually cried at the end of the movie my inner kid was so happy
Yeah I live up in northern NY near the Canadian border. All the theaters around here are Regal so I don't get a shot at getting one of these. Saw the movie yesterdayduring its very first showing at 4 pm and there were no promotional giveaways :(
Got mine. First in line waited an hour.

And my wife and I went to purchase our ecto-1 popcorn tub, however we were told that there was a problem with their shipment of ecto-1 popcorn tubs and that they're being sold on the AMC theater store website.

I tried to buy one online, found no such way
I got one when AMC put more on their website.
Yup $160 dollars eBay plus shipping. Canada gets short stick. Sadly
I really wanted one, was there opening day, but these were all sold out. :-(
Missed out on this unfortunately,my local AMC had none in stock when I arrived and didn't know when they'd ever get them,as for the movie, it was amazing,can't wait to see it again
Going to be available next week on the AMC website
I got my tickets for Saturday and I'm going to AMC. I can't wait to see the movie and I can't wait to get my Ecto popcorn bucket!
Well it’s opening night and no car popcorn container! Just got from the movie and amc didn’t get there shipment in with them
Was a great movie 🎥 not going to spoil it for the people that haven’t seen it yet! It was worth the money to get in
So many people are trying to get those at theaters then up sell them on eBay over $100
Hey Jason I live in Ontario Canada too!!
I’m sad to not get one cineplex doesn’t get that
8 pm opening night and the buckets had already sold out the night before... :(
Already got mine as soon as I got it I put it in the car and locked it up and got my popcorn when I went back in I had to drive to like three AMC Theaters just to find this
Looks awesome! I cannot wait to hear your review of the film Jason!
they sent you one ! how did you convince them to do that? wouldnt send me one....
I want a "Popcorn Container" that rolls.
The video made me go out and buy one
Cant wait to watch it tonight
How can I get one?
This is so cool! Shame they don't do this sort of thing in Europe.
What is the estimated scale of this piece? It looks HUGE!
Almost reminds me of my Ecto 1 Play mobile
Sadly my Ecto's lights didn't work. Opened it up and the batteries had leaked. I'll pick some up later.
Got mine and I love it!
I just saw the movie. get ready to cry
I got home from the movie 2 hours ago. Thought it was a great movie. I got the Ecto-1 popcorn container also.
That thing sold out after the first two showings!
Just a non spoiler but there is an awesome reference to one of Dragon Ball Z’s greatest moments in the final battle.
What😨?
Someone actually says Krillion's line from the April foola day airing? "Looks like bes taking a shit."
Just picked one up and it’s awesome. I was kind of bummed that the wheels don’t move but it’s still a solid promo. I don’t think popcorn will ever go in my Ecto 1 lol
Sucks they don't have them at my theater. Watch the movie 3 times already and it is so freaking awesome well done Ghost Corps amd cast and Jason Reitman hats off to you good sir. Oklahoma Ghostbuster- Tommy Gregory
Hmm didn't see anything about this when I saw the movie at AMC.
Oh that passes me off. All the amcs are cheap near me. The one I went to just had Clifford movie posters
Oh My Gozer...lol Love it!!
It would be cool if they do a ghost trap one
Afterlife made me cry
I want one
But I live in the UK
Is it available over here
Probably not
I went to a different theater than AMC last night but stopped by the AMC just now and they sold me one without the ticket. They did say "Let me check if we still have any." So take that into account.
How much does it cost?
I have one too
@@andy-in-indy $34.99
I wonder how much the second hand market will be. the AMC that's close to me is an hour away 😢 will be going twice on Sat
Who makes the amc ecto?
