Dune Discussion Thread[Spoilers Allowed]

And I haven't been to the theater even once this year.

You know what? In all seriousness?

I understand

With all these streaming apps, movie tickets regular price 20+, concession prices, cold/flu/etc., rudeness, theatre and screen quality inconsistent, you buy a digital movie you don't OWN it....

And just being tried from work and stress?

I understand.

I understand.
I was meaning to see Backrooms but I decided I'd rather see it at home in October. I'm not really interested in horror during the summer.

Nothing else so far has even tempted me. I'm not interested in The Mandalorian, Moana, Minions, Dune, or Spider-Man. My boys want to see The Odyssey and since I dont get to hang out with them too often, I'm on board.

Honestly, nothing out there is really piquing my interest.

‘Dune 3’ Popcorn Bucket Has Two Sandworms That ‘Make It Easier to Share’​

Dune popcorn bucket


In 2024, AMC Theatres went viral after moviegoers discovered the sandworm-inspired popcorn bucket for “Dune: Part Two” was… suggestive, to say the least. The iconic vessel was the subject of countless memes and later immortalized on “Saturday Night Live” in a sketch about a teenager with other plans for the souvenir container.

Now the cinema chain is unveiling two new destined-to-break-the-internet designs for the upcoming “Dune: Part Three.” There’s a “Sandworm Thumper” with a “working Thumper design” (that’s the device used by the Freman to pound the desert sand and attract giant sandworms) and a “Double Sandworm” collectable featuring two Shai-Hulud, “making it easier to share popcorn,” according to AMC’s press release. Prices will be announced at a later date. (Canisters for “Dune: Part Two” were $24.99 plus tax but sold for much more on secondary markets like eBay.)

AMC’s “Dune: Part Three” collection also has a Atreides-Fremen light-up cup, a spacing guild navigator cup, mystery keychains and sandworm plush. These items will be available exclusively at AMC locations as well as Odeon Cinemas throughout Europe.

“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, AMC’s senior VP of food and beverage. “From the moment we started planning the ‘Dune: Part Three’ collectibles, our goal was to exceed those fan expectations. The Sandworm Thumper and Double Sandworm collectibles take the experience to the next level with designs straight from the movie.”

Popcorn buckets have been a major revenue stream for AMC, with CEO Adam Aron projecting the circuit will earn more than $100 million this year on themed tins. Other recent canisters include a Trojan horse for “The Odyssey,” a red purse for “The Devil Wears Prada 2” and a giant gray sperm whale for Disney’s thriller “Whalefall.”

Directed by Denis Villenueve and based on Frank Herbert’s novel, “Dune 3” concludes the sci-fi trilogy as Timothée Chalamet’s messianic Paul Atreides is forced to contend with the fallout from his ascent to the throne. Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jason Momoa, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin and Rebecca Ferguson round out the starry cast. “Dune: Part Three” opens in theaters on Dec. 18, the same day as “Avengers: Doomsday.” Disney Marvel’s epic is expected to ignite the box office, but will Earth’s Mightiest Heroes have a popcorn bucket that breaks the internet?
