The novelty popcorn bucket released alongside the recent Resident Evil movie has found an unexpected second life as a functional storage solution for physical game copies. An Instagram user, pokicourtney, demonstrated the surprising capacity of the green, first-aid kit-themed bucket, showcasing its ability to hold a considerable number of Resident Evil titles.
The bucket can accommodate 13 physical game discs across various console generations, including Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PS4. The collection features titles ranging from the Resident Evil Origins Collection to the most recent Resident Evil Village, including deluxe steelbook editions.
The arrangement offers a satisfying visual, akin to organizing inventory slots within the Resident Evil games themselves. While originally designed for movie theater snacks, its transformation into a dedicated media container for the franchise offers an alternative purpose.
This practical revelation follows the Resident Evil movie's successful box office run, which exceeded expectations by earning over $108 million. Critics praised the film for capturing the tension and horror of its video game counterparts.
