This time you can relax as a couple with a popcorn bucket of sandworms.
AMC Theaters revealed the sequels to its most famous movie spin-offs for Dune: Part Three.
The sandworm popcorn bucket for Part twowhich became a success online and in retail, as well as the target of a Saturday evening live sketch, is back. This time there is a Sandworm Thumper collectible as well as a Double Sandworm collectible (the latter being a double worm design for two people sharing).
Such products can significantly increase theater revenue, with collectible buckets often selling for $25 to $50. THE Dune: part two The bucket is credited with sparking a popcorn bucket merchandising frenzy, with Regal selling a bucket last year for Fantastic Four: first steps for the modest sum of $80.
« The AMC Sandworm popcorn bucket for Dune: part two became a viral phenomenon, and we knew that Dune fans would have high expectations for what came next,” said Hank Green, senior vice president of food and beverage at AMC Theaters. “From the moment we started planning the Dune: Part Three collectibles, our goal was to exceed fans’ expectations. The Sandworm Thumper and Double Sandworm collectibles take the experience to the next level with designs straight from the film.
Both buckets will come with a large popcorn and will be available at AMC Cinemas in the US and Odeon Cinemas across Europe. AMC will also offer other Dune: Part Three collectibles including tumblers, “mystery keyrings” and a Sandworm plush toy. The price of the bucket will be announced closer to the film’s release date on December 18.
SNL mocked the suggestive design of the previous popcorn bucket with a musical sketch in which a high school student played by Marcello Hernández excitedly tells his friends that he is going to lose his virginity to the Dune popcorn bucket (at one point he sang, “I’m not afraid of the teeth in the middle”).
THE Dune: part two The bucket’s creator, Marcus Gonzalez of Zinc Group, told The Wall Street Journal this sexual innuendo “definitely wasn’t the intention,” and explained, “The worm is the worm, the worm.” »
Dune: Part Three has strong advance sales, with London’s BFI IMAX ticket sales breaking a previous record set by Christopher Nolan The Odyssey.
