Dune‘s sequel, Dune: Part Two (yeah, they weren’t creative with the title), comes out in March. While the Denis Villeneuve-directed sci-fi movie’s release date is still a few days away, one specific merch item has become the center of attention, and for no good reason.
The merch item is a harmless, limited-edition popcorn bucket with a lid. The lid features the infamous sandworms found on Arrakis, a desert planet in the Dune movie. However, internet dwellers have sparked comparisons between the bucket and a NSFW personal pleasure device.
Cineplex itself posted a tongue-in-cheek video of the bucket, listing down tasks the bucket can be used for. Props to Cineplex’s social media manager ?. The video also confirmed that the popcorn bucket will be available in Canadian Cineplex theatres.
The internet is now calling the bucket a ‘Dunelight,’ and it is sure turning out to be a marketing success for Warner Bros.
