AMC Theatres is bringing back its sandworm-themed popcorn bucket for the upcoming “Dune: Part Three,” unveiling two new designs, according to reports. The announcement follows the bucket’s earlier popularity and widespread online attention.
Last year, AMC’s “Dune: Part Two” sandworm bucket went viral after moviegoers shared photos and comments about its appearance, which sparked extensive meme coverage. The bucket also became the subject of a “Saturday Night Live” sketch that used the souvenir as a comedic prop. Across the coverage, both outlets frame the return as a refreshed version of a previously mocked item, with the new designs presented as the latest attempt to capitalize on the product’s cultural moment while tying it again to the franchise.
