The Stans popcorn bucket, themed after Eminem’s documentary movie, has been revealed. Subsequently, fans have reacted to its appearance in a myriad of ways online. The project was helmed by Steven Leckart, whose previous credits include All Things Must Pass and Silicon Cowboys. It explores the rapper’s relationship with fans and how he has made an impact on them via his music. Eminem co-produced the documentary with Bridget Topp, Marcella Serano, Paul Rosenberg, Stuart Parr, and Tony Disanto. Stans gets its name from the 2000 song, “Stan.” The song, considered to be one of Eminem’s signature works, follows the musician’s complicated dynamic with an obsessive fan.
Fans react to Stans’ popcorn bucket
Various social media accounts uploaded a picture of the Stans popcorn bucket online. The bucket is a large replica of a medicine pill bottle.
Fans reacted to the bucket’s appearance in all kinds of ways. “Perfect marketing, turning addiction into entertainment. Brilliant but dark,” one fan wrote on X (Twitter).
Another fan added, “Only Eminem could turn a popcorn bucket into a collector’s item.”
Meanwhile, on Reddit, a fan who claimed to be taking multiple prescription pills said they wanted the popcorn bucket to store candy. They wrote, “I have a mighty need. As someone who takes a lot of prescription meds, I want this to put candy in.”
“As a pharmacist I am OBSESSED,” another shared.
The bucket’s top and lower portions have orange stripes. Meanwhile, the middle portion has a white stripe and a thin orange stripe in between.
The name Stanley Mitchell is written on the bucket. For the unversed, it is the name of the obsessive fan in Eminem’s “Stan.” An instruction and a quote are inscribed on the lower portions of the bucket. The instruction reads, “TAKE TO GET OUT OF BED.” Meanwhile, the quote reads, “Remember it’s not so bad.”
The bucket’s lid is white, and its top portion includes the instruction on how to open it, which reads, “Push and twist.”
Stans premiered in theaters on August 7, 2025. It played in AMC Theaters between August 7 and 10.
