Timothée Chalamet Breaks a 45-Year Record With 'Dune: Part Two' and 'Wonka'

Currently, all eyes are on Dune: Part Two, meaning they are also on one of the film's stars, Timothée Chalamet. Less than a month into its theatrical run, the film has proven that sequels can be as good or even better than their predecessors, earning critical acclaim from all corners. Thus, it comes as no surprise that it’s a box office hit, earning $494 million worldwide in the 17 days it has been in theaters. The number is expected to grow as the film continues its theatrical run, but the current numbers are doing something for Chalamet -- they are setting him up for a box office world record for a movie star. He is one of the few people to lead two of the highest-grossing movies, all released within eight months. John Travolta previously held the record with the films Saturday Night Fever (1977) and Grease (1978).
