  "account": "AMC Theatres has unveiled the popcorn buckets for the highly anticipated Dune: Part 3. Three distinctive buckets are on offer, each with a unique feature. One bucket boasts a mouth with two sandworm holes, perfect for sharing snacks with fellow Dune enthusiasts. Another bucket showcases a moving thumper that accompanies your munching experience. The final bucket mimics the shape of the Guild Navigator Edric's mobile containment tank, offering a glimpse into the character's potential development in the upcoming film. These exclusive popcorn-themed collectibles were unveiled on the AMC Theatres Instagram page. Dune: Part 3 is set to release on December 18, 2026, with early IMAX preview screenings starting on December 14, 2026. The film, based on Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah, follows Paul Atreides, portrayed by Timothée Chalamet, who has shaved his head, signifying his transformation. Zendaya plays a more prominent role as Chaya and is expected to be nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars. The previous Dune movies received nods for technical excellence, but actors were not recognized for their performances. Even if you're familiar with the source material, Dune: Part 3 may introduce unexpected twists. The final trailer hinted at significant deviations from the source novel. Despite generating almost $500 million at the box office, Dune: Part 2 surpassed its predecessor, which earned $433 million worldwide. However, the first installment was released concurrently in theaters and on HBO Max, allowing viewers to enjoy it at home with their own popcorn buckets.",
