Act II is a brand of popcorn in North America that is ostensibly based on the look and taste of movie theater popcorn. It is made and distributed by ConAgra Foods. Act II was preceded in the popcorn market by Act I, an early microwave popcorn that had to be stored in the refrigerator. Act I was introduced in 1981. In 1984, Act II, a shelf stable microwave popcorn was released, becoming the first mass-marketed microwave popcorn. The Edina facility was closed and manufacturing moved to other manufacturing plants in the USA and Mexico.
