When "Dune: Part Two" hit theaters in 2024, AMC Theatres’ sandworm popcorn bucket went viral for its unmistakably suggestive design. It spawned countless memes and even inspired a "Saturday Night Live" sketch. Now, with "Dune: Part Three" nearing release, AMC has unveiled two more sandworm-themed collectibles.
The "Sandworm Thumper" features a fully functional thumper, recreating the Fremen device that sends vibrations through the sand to lure sandworms. The "Double Sandworm," meanwhile, forms the bucket around a pair of Shai-Hulud.
AMC emphasized that the design makes it easier for moviegoers to share their popcorn, once again prompting plenty of jokes about its suggestive appearance.
Prices for the new collectibles have yet to be announced. The original sandworm popcorn bucket retailed for $24.99, but soaring demand sent resale prices far above retail on eBay and other secondary-market platforms.
The wider merchandise lineup also includes House Atreides- and Fremen-themed light-up cups, a Spacing Guild Navigator cup, mystery keychains and a plush sandworm. The items will be sold exclusively through AMC Theatres in the United States and ODEON Cinemas in Europe.
"Dune: Part Three" opens December 18, 2026, the same day as "Avengers: Doomsday."
