This time, you can get cozy with sandworm popcorn bucket as a couple.
AMC Theatres has revealed follow ups to its most infamous movie tie-in merchandise for Dune: Part Three.
The sandworm popcorn bucket for Part Two, which became an online and retail hit, as well the target of a Saturday Night Live sketch, is back. This time, there’s Sandworm Thumper Collectible along with a Double Sandworm Collectible (the latter a double-worm design for two people sharing).
Such products can significantly boost theater revenue, with collectible buckets often selling for $25 to $50. The Dune: Part Two bucket was credited with setting off a popcorn bucket merchandising frenzy, with Regal selling a bucket last year for The Fantastic Four: First Steps for a whopping $80.
“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, SVP, Food & Beverage, AMC Theatres. “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.”
Both buckets will come with a large popcorn and be available at AMC locations in the United States and at Odeon Cinemas throughout Europe. AMC will also offer other Dune: Part Three collectibles, including drinkware, “mystery keychains,” and a Sandworm plush. The price of the bucket will be announced closer to the film’s Dec. 18 release date.
SNL mocked the previous popcorn bucket’s suggestive design with a musical sketch where a high school student played by Marcello Hernández excitedly tells his friends that he’s going to lose his virginity to the Dune popcorn bucket (at one point singing, “I’m not scared of the teeth in the middle”).
The Dune: Part Two bucket’s creator, Marcus Gonzalez of the Zinc Group, told the Wall Street Journal that sexual innuendo “was definitely not the intent,” and explained, “The worm’s the worm’s the worm.”
Dune: Part Three has strong advance sales, with London’s BFI IMAX ticket sales beating a previous record set by Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.
Here’s a closer look at the two new buckets:

It’s only been days since Tom Brady and Candice Swanepoel’s rumored relationship went public, but things are already off to a rocky start.
In Touch previously reported on the rift between Swanepoel, 38, and her former Victoria’s Secret bestie, Joan Smalls, after Smalls, also 38, took to Instagram to leave a series of shady comments about Brady, 49, and Swanepoel’s budding romance following her short-lived fling with the retired NFL star.
“SUMMER HOUSE! That’ll explain everything,” Smalls wrote under Just Jared’s report of their alleged rift, seemingly alluding to the love triangle drama between Ciara Miller, Amanda Batula and West Wilson on the Bravo series.
Smalls also called Swanepoel a “backstabber” in a since-deleted comment, according to multiple outlets, after one user asked about the status of their longtime friendship, with eagle-eyed fans noticing that the pair had already unfollowed each other on Instagram.
Now, the Daily Mail is reporting that the former New England Patriots quarterback is doing his best to stay out of it.
“Tom wants absolutely no part of the feud between Candice and Joan, and he feels like he’s getting caught in the crossfire of a situation that really has nothing to do with him,” a source close to the situation told the outlet in a Thursday, October 29, report.
The source continued, “Whatever tension exists between the two of them is their business, and he doesn’t think it’s fair that he’s being dragged into the drama.”
As for Smalls and Brady, a source told Us Weekly on Wednesday, October 28, that while the pair never went public with their romance, they were seeing each other “on and off for about a year between 2023 and 2024” — following his 2022 divorce from Gisele Bündchen.
“It was never anything super serious, but they were hooking up for a while and still kept in touch afterward,” the source shared. “It wasn’t even necessarily about Tom, but more about the fact that Candice was someone she considered such a close friend. Joan had openly talked to Candice about Tom and had confided in Candice about the relationship.”
A rep for Swanepoel addressed the rift in a statement to Us that same day, noting that the “exceptionally private” mother of two was focusing on raising her children amid the drama – Swanepoel shares sons Anacan, 10, and Ariel, 8, with ex Hermann Nicoli.
“She and Joan share a longstanding history and a friendship that Candice will always respect,” the model’s rep noted.
Brady, who has kids of his own — a son, Benjamin, 16, and daughter Vivian, 13, whom he shares with Bündchen, 46, and Jack, 19, whom he fathered with ex Bridget Moynahan — shares a similar mindset, putting the focus on his broadcasting career and his children over what the Daily Mail’s source labeled “schoolyard antics.”
“Tom would rather keep his distance, let Candice and Joan sort out whatever issues they have between themselves, and refuse to give the situation more oxygen than it deserves,” the source said to the outlet.

There are no flies in the ointment of the overwhelming touring success of Noah Kahan. The fan enthusiasm that led to across-the-board sellouts for his “Great Divide World Tour” this past summer is highly likely to continue when his “The Last of the Bugs World Tour” hits stadiums in North America and Europe in the spring and summer of 2027. The highly anticipated dates were announced Thursday morning as an online countdown clock drew to a close.

“Artist presales for this tour are hosted by multiple ticketing sites, but anyone who signs up can join the sale,” the announcement stated. For the artist presale on Ticketmaster, no code is needed, as access is tied to the holder’s account, whereas presales hosted on other sites may require a code for access.
The announcement further said, “Working in partnership with Ticketmaster, extra protections will be in place to help block bad actors from signing up for the Artist Presale. Some fans may be asked to complete a quick selfie check, or in rare cases, provide an ID via Persona to sign up.”
A special presale for the MetLife Stadium show in New Jersey will be held for fans who held tickets to the Citi Feld show that was canceled this past July 18. Those ticketholders will have access to a two-hour presale taking place Nov. 10 from 9-11 a.m. ET.
A “Reserved by Spotify” presale for North American shows will begin Nov. 11 at 9 a.m. local time. Those tickets will be available to eligible U.S. Spotify Premium subscribers through Ticketmaster; fans will be notified by Spotify via email and app notification about how to purchase up to two tickets through that program.
In North America, Kahan will be using the Face Value Exchange program, which mandates that tickets purchased on Ticketmaster are nontransferable and can only be resold for face value on that ticketing site. (The exception is the Buffalo show, since New York law prohibits making tickets nontransferable.)
For the European shows, an artist presale will take place Laylo, beginning Nov. 10 at noon local time. Fans can sign up here by Nov. 9th at 5 p.m. local time to access the presale. As with the American shows, the general onsale for remaining tickets will then be on Nov. 12.
There haven’t been many breaks in Kahan’s touring activity. At the end of August, he wrapped up the North American leg of the “Great Divide” tour. It included his biggest show to date at the Rose Bowl, where he performed to 65,000 fans in August. This came on the heels of Kahan becoming the first artist ever to headline and sell out four straight nights at Fenway.
He has plenty of concert activity still on the agenda before the end of this year, in addition to the ’27 dates just announced. Following a tour of Australia and New Zealand in September and October he just wrapped up, November and the first half of December of this year will find Kahan playing arenas in the U.K., Germany, Denmark, France, Ireland, Switzerland and Scotland.
Kahan is expected to be in Grammy contention in the coming months for his fourth studio album, “The Great Divide,” which gave his 2026 tour its name. The next tour is named after the deluxe version of the album, which was subtitled “The Last of the Bugs.” He is the only artist to have had two albums in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 for each of the past six weeks, those albums being “The Great Divide” and its breakthrough predecessor, the five-times-platinum “Stick Season.”

Tom Brady’s rumored romance with Victoria’s Secret model Candice Swanepoel has already sparked a messy falling-out between Swanepoel and one of her closest friends. But according to a new report, Brady wants nothing to do with it.
An insider claims that the former NFL quarterback feels like he’s being unfairly dragged into the drama between Swanepoel and fellow model Joan Smalls. The source also claimed that Brady is in no hurry to make things official with Swanepoel, even if she might want something more serious.
Supermodel Feud
While the relationship just recently came to light in the public, Brady and Swanepoel have been quietly dating since June, according to TMZ. Brady, 49, has been divorced from Gisele Bündchen since 2022 and has been linked to several high-profile women since then, including Smalls.
The new relationship has reportedly blown up a 15-year friendship between Swanepoel and Smalls, as a source told Page Six that Swanepoel repeatedly encouraged Smalls to dump Brady while they were dating, only to start a relationship with him herself.
Smalls has seemingly made her feelings clear online, replying to a fan who asked whether she was still friends with Swanepoel by writing, “I’m not friends with backstabbers.”
She has kept the jabs coming this week, too. On Wednesday, Smalls wrote on her Instagram Story, according to the Daily Mail, “This Halloween I’m dressing up as accountability. Apparently that’s the scariest [freaking] thing some people can face.”
‘Caught in the Crossfire’
Now, a source has told the Daily Mail that Brady would prefer to stay out of it.
“Tom wants absolutely no part of the feud between Candice and Joan, and he feels like he’s getting caught in the crossfire of a situation that really has nothing to do with him,” the source said, via the Daily Mail. “Whatever tension exists between the two of them is their business, and he doesn’t think it’s fair that he’s being dragged into the drama.”
“The last thing he wants is to get caught up in what he considers high school antics,” the source added.
Needless to say, it sounds like Brady isn’t happy about all the drama.

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 clear bucket for A24’s twisty Elizabeth Holmes documentary “You Can See Everything” and a giant gray sperm whale for Disney’s thriller “Whalefall.”
