LOS ANGELES — AMC Theatres has caused quite a buzz on the internet with its latest tie-in popcorn bucket for the highly anticipated film “Dune: Part Two.” The uniquely designed container, resembling a sandworm, has caught the attention of moviegoers for its striking resemblance to a certain part of the female anatomy.
Before entering the theater to watch director Denis Villeneuve’s follow-up to the Oscar-winning “Dune,” movie enthusiasts can visit the concessions stand to get their hands on this eye-catching popcorn bucket. Although some find it amusing, others question how it went through the approval process without raising any eyebrows.
AMC Theatres has been on a roll with its themed buckets, including a Barbie-themed convertible and a “Mean Girls”-themed Burn Book. However, the “Dune: Part Two” popcorn bucket may have outdone them all, capturing the imagination of the internet.
“Dune: Part Two” continues the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen, seeking revenge against those who destroyed his family. The sequel, set to release on March 1st, presents Atreides with a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the universe.
The unique popcorn bucket has sparked fervor among moviegoers, raising the question of whether people plan to see “Dune: Part Two” in theaters and if they hope to get their hands on this distinctive piece of movie merchandise.
