AMC’s Infamous 'Dune' Sandworm Popcorn Bucket Is Back for 'Part Three'

Key Points:

• AMC Theatres is releasing new Dune: Part Three merchandise, including a Sandworm Thumper Collectible and a Double Sandworm Collectible popcorn bucket designed for couples, following the success of the Dune: Part Two sandworm bucket.
• The original Dune: Part Two popcorn bucket became a viral sensation and sparked a merchandising trend, with collectible buckets often priced between $25 and $50, and some, like Regal’s Fantastic Four bucket, selling for up to $80.
• Both new popcorn buckets will include large popcorn servings and be available at AMC locations in the U.S. and Odeon Cinemas in Europe, alongside other Dune: Part Three collectibles such as drinkware, mystery keychains, and a Sandworm plush; pricing details will be announced closer to the film’s December 18 release.
• The previous Dune: Part Two bucket gained additional attention after being parodied on Saturday Night Live for its suggestive design, though the creator stated any sexual innuendo was unintentional.
• Advance ticket sales for Dune: Part Three are strong, with London’s BFI IMAX breaking previous records set by Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, indicating high anticipation for the film.
