Flavor + Texture
Classic corn flavor with a satisfying mix of fluffy and crunchy texture. Movie Night kernels pop into medium-to-large butterfly-shaped pieces, with light, fluffy “wings” surrounding a crunchy center.

Movie Night Popcorn FAQ
What kind of popcorn kernels do movie theaters use?
Yellow butterfly popcorn is a classic choice for movie theater popcorn. It pops into familiar irregular pieces with fluffy wings and a crunchy center. Dell Cove® Movie Night is our yellow butterfly variety, and we sell these kernels to boutique movie theaters in the U.S.
What is butterfly popcorn?
Butterfly popcorn gets its name from its popped shape. The kernels open into irregular pieces with light, fluffy “wings” extending from a crunchy center, rather than the mostly round shape produced by Mushroom popcorn.
Are Movie Night popcorn kernels good for air poppers?
Yes. Movie Night is one of our best popcorn varieties for air popping. It also works well on the stovetop with oil, in microwave popcorn poppers and in commercial popcorn machines.
What's the difference between Movie Night and Mushroom popcorn?
Movie Night pops into medium-to-large butterfly-shaped pieces with fluffy wings and a crunchy center. Mushroom popcorn produces larger, rounder and firmer pieces that hold up especially well to caramel and other heavier coatings. We like mixing equal parts of the two varieties for a combination of both textures.
How much popcorn will the kernels make?
One ounce of unpopped Movie Night kernels makes approximately 1 quart, or 4 cups, of popped popcorn.
