Timothée Chalamet Just Replaced John Travolta as Rare Record Holder

Summary:

• Timothée Chalamet has just broken a record by starring in two highest-grossing films of the recent time — Dune: Part 2 and Wonka.
• The actor is one of few artists who ever achieved such acclaim — before him the record was set by John Travolta in 1977.
• For Timothée Chalamet it became a significant milestone given that he never starred in Marvel or DC franchises that usually catch most of the public's attention.

Not only is Timothée Chalamet currently catching everyone’s attention thanks to the huge success of his new film Dune: Part 2, but he also is breaking records himself. Chalamet just achieved a major milestone by having leading roles in two highest-grossing movies of the recent months — Dune: Part 2 and Wonka.

For Wonka it hasn’t even been much time since its theatrical release — the movie came out last December and managed to leave behind DC’s giant project Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom by getting $630 million, the fact that encouraged the creators to start thinking about a sequel.

Meanwhile, Dune: Part 2 is still the main topic of talks as the film was released almost 3 weeks ago, already grossed nearly $500 million and currently is expected to go even higher — despite a new competitor, Kung Fu Panda 4, which right now seems to receive more attention.

Such never-ending success is definitely bringing Timothée Chalamet to a whole new level of A-list actors — he joined a quite small list of people who ever succeeded that much by having several box office hits at the same time, one of them being John Travolta who set the record 45 years ago with films Saturday Night Fever and Grease.

For Timothée Chalamet it becomes even a bigger honor when it comes to the fact that he’s never appeared in any Marvel or DC franchises that usually receive much bigger attention than any other film.

But even in superhero movies it’s usually the whole star-studded cast that gets acclaim for box office success and not just one outstanding actor — the fact that makes Chalamet an even more valuable artist in the modern cinematography.
