The largest box of popcorn was achieved by
Cineplexx (International) with a volume of
52.59m³ (1857 ft³), which was filled in 1 hour and
57 minutes at an event outside Avenue Mall in
Osijek, Croatia, on 16 April 2011.
The event was organised by Cineplexx (International) to celebrate the opening of two new

Malls, complete with two new Cineplexx cinema’s in Croatia. During the first 30 minutes of the at-

tempt, the box was filled with popcorn by foster children that had been invited to take part and then
after a team of Cineplexx employees worked tirelessly to fill the remainder of the box. The popcorn
was popped and bagged inside the Cinema and bought out to be used. There was also an independent surveyor on hand throughout the attempt and he was able to show me how he calculated
the measurements of the total volume.
