Timothée Chalamet Shatters Box Office Record Set by John Travolta in the '70s
The acclaimed actor leads the top two domestic grossing films in eight months, a feat last achieved by Travolta with 'Saturday Night Fever' and 'Grease'.
- Timothée Chalamet has become the first actor since John Travolta to lead the top two domestic grossing films over a span of eight months with his movies 'Wonka' and 'Dune: Part Two'.
- John Travolta, who set the record in the late '70s with 'Saturday Night Fever' and 'Grease', congratulated Chalamet on his achievement, expressing his delight in sharing the box office record.
- 'Wonka' and 'Dune: Part Two' are the only films since last July to surpass the domestic $200 million total, with 'Dune: Part Two' pulling in $400 million alone just over two weeks after its release.
- Chalamet's role in 'Wonka' was described as his most physically challenging project, involving extensive dance and vocal training.
- Next up for Chalamet is the Bob Dylan biopic 'A Complete Unknown', for which he is taking rehearsals seriously, working with a team that previously assisted Austin Butler for 'Elvis'.
