Where is the imagination?

AMC Theatres

Collectible popcorn buckets have become a fixture of movie theaters' post-pandemic recovery, and if hawking plastic helps them keep the lights on, so be it. But if we are going to submit ourselves to the Funko Pop-ification of food receptacles, shouldn't they at least be interesting?

Two years after Dune: Part Two 's Sandworm popcorn bucket went viral, AMC Theatres made the obvious decision to double down for Dune: Part Three . The theater chain is selling two themed buckets for the film's release, the "Sandworm Thumper" and "Double Sandworm," each with a worm-shaped hand hole (the Double, naturally, has two).

An epic conclusion calls for legendary collectibles. See DUNE: PART THREE and seize control of your collection, including AMC Theatres exclusives on 12/17. Take a sneak peek now.…
