The reporter showed Villeneuve a picture of the <em>Deadpool &amp; Wolverine<\/em> bucket featuring the yellow Wolverine\u2019s head and his gaping maw full of some of Orville Redenbacher\u2019s finest. Villeneuve said he doesn\u2019t have anything against the bucket but he thinks they are just riding the coattails he unfurled when the <em>Dune <\/em>sandworm popcorn bucket blew up the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not saying I don\u2019t like the bucket,\u201d Villeneuve said. \u201cI\u2019m just saying it was difficult to beat the Dune bucket. It was like one of a kind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s got a point. Popcorn buckets weren\u2019t even a movie going craze until the release of the <em>Dune 2 <\/em>sandworm bucket, a popcorn tub that looks like a sex toy punishment designed by Pinhead from the Hellraiser movies. It sparked a whole new marketing trend for the struggling movie theater industry that\u2019s been trying to fight the convenient onslaught of streaming media. Theaters and studios produced special buckets for other movies like <em>Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire\u2019s<\/em> ghost trap and ECTO-1 buckets, <em>Wonka\u2019s<\/em> Willy Wonka hat bucket and<em> Inside Out 2\u2019s<\/em> core memory receptacle bucket.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/dune-director-throws-shade-at-the-deadpool--wolverine-popcorn-bucket-225500203.html?src=rss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] There\u2019s a war brewing in Hollywood and we\u2019re not talking about how AI will inevitably kill us all by plagiarizing The Joker\u2019s chaos plans<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":237339,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[159],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237338"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237338\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=237338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=237338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
