GoKawiilAMC unveils 'Double Sandworm' popcorn bucket for Dune: Part Three
AMC Theatres is selling two Dune: Part Three-themed popcorn buckets, the 'Sandworm Thumper' and 'Double Sandworm,' both featuring worm-shaped hand holes, with the latter having two openings. The buckets go on sale alongside the film's release on December 17, continuing AMC's practice of selling collectible novelty popcorn containers tied to major releases.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The move suggests AMC sees novelty merchandise as a reliable revenue stream following the viral success of the original Dune: Part Two Sandworm bucket two years earlier. Critics argue the design shows diminishing creative effort compared to past novelty buckets like the Trojan Horse or handbag designs, which could affect how audiences respond to future collectibles.
