Act II is an American brand of microwave popcorn that is ostensibly based on the look and taste of movie theater popcorn.

Act II was preceded in the popcorn market by Act I (popcorn in theaters), an early microwave popcorn that had to be stored in the refrigerator due to its real butter content.

[1] Act II was manufactured by the Golden Valley Microwave Foods[2] (frequently abbreviated as GVMF on the packaging) company of Edina, Minnesota.

The popcorn bag used in Act II was invented by James Watkins, a former engineer for the Pillsbury Company in Minneapolis, MN and then Founder/President of Golden Valley Microwave Foods.
