How it spread

Trace the origin

Leaked sandworm-bucket photos prompted X and TikTok jokes, then late-night sketches. AMC sold out during the film’s opening weekend. Resale coverage followed, while rival movie buckets and collectors extended the story through the year.

Documented milestone; not a measured attention peak.
