  "account": "On January 25, 2024, AMC Theatres introduced the first glimpse of its sandworm-inspired popcorn bucket for Dune: Part Two, which quickly became an internet sensation. The bucket's popularity led to a flood of memes, a Saturday Night Live parody, and a race to create even more elaborate, attention-grabbing popcorn buckets. The popcorn bucket for Dune: Part Three is set to surpass its predecessor by featuring two sandworms emerging from the sand, with one bucket incorporating a vibrating \"thumper\" for an immersive experience. Other collectibles include a Guild Navigator sarcophagus-shaped soda cup and a copper bucket adorned with a wall carving from Dune: Part One. Cinemark's copper bucket features a sandworm bursting from the desert, offering an alternative for fans seeking a sandworm-themed popcorn bucket without the intense tactile sensation.",
