The Dune series has struggled financially, leading to doubts over the completion of the trilogy. SNL recently parodied the controversial sandworm popcorn bucket in a musical sketch, adding to its online ridicule. The fate of director Denis Villeneuve’s vision hinges on Dune: Part Two’s box office performance.
The popcorn bucket, which sparked controversy, was mocked by SNL in a sketch featuring its inappropriate use. This parodies the laughable design that caught the attention of the public before the release of part two. The video depicts characters declaring their NSFW intentions with the bucket topper.
Dune: Part Two is crucial for the completion of Villeneuve’s trilogy, as it will dictate the fate of the final movie. Despite the first part’s box office success, it reportedly failed to break even, raising concerns about the budget for the sequel and the potential cancellation of Villeneuve’s next film. The director is eagerly awaiting the opportunity to create the final movie.
The fate of the trilogy and the Dune series as a whole remains uncertain until Dune: Part Two is released on March 1. Audience reception and box office results will determine the future of the franchise, including the potential for the completion of the trilogy and the fate of Villeneuve’s final movie.
