Dune: Part Three's Sandworm Popcorn Buckets Arrive
AMC, Cinemark and Regal have revealed collectible popcorn buckets for Dune: Part Three, which opens on 18 December.
The sandworm popcorn bucket is back. AMC Theatres has revealed new collectibles for Dune: Part Three, led by a Double Sandworm bucket with two worms rising out of the lid, Gizmodo and The Hollywood Reporter report.
AMC's line-up also includes a Sandworm Thumper bucket, with a thumper on the lid, and a cup shaped like Edric, the Guild Navigator. AMC says they go on sale in its theatres on 17 December, the day before the film opens.
Other chains are joining in. Cinemark has a Copper Sandworm bucket with cave drawings on its sides, and Regal will sell a Spacing Guild Navigator bucket, a clear Sands of Arrakis cup and a Chani and Paul Atreides combo in December.
