How Many Resident Evil Games Fit In The Popcorn Bucket? Now We Know
Capcom’s Resident Evil popcorn bucket, a novelty collectible released to promote the Resident Evil movie, has proven unexpectedly practical. Shaped like a first aid kit, the item was originally intended as a limited-time movie theater promotional item. However, an Instagram user recently discovered that the bucket serves as an ideal container for storing physical copies of Resident Evil games.
The discovery demonstrates the bucket’s surprising utility: it can hold 13 physical game copies spanning multiple console generations, including Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, and deluxe editions. This finding has transformed what might have become a forgotten dust collector into a functional piece of gaming storage that appeals to collectors and fans of the long-running survival horror franchise.
The revelation highlights how gaming memorabilia can sometimes find unexpected second lives beyond their original marketing purpose. For Resident Evil enthusiasts with physical game collections, the bucket now serves as both a nostalgic collectible and a practical storage solution, potentially making it more valuable to collectors than initially anticipated.
