Dune: Part Two hit the theatres on March 1, after its release date was pushed in the face of labor disputes in Hollywood last year. With $81.5 million grossed domestically and an additional $97 million in other territories, it topped the box office with a massive $178.5 million worldwide opening.

Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution Jeff Goldstein, described Dune: Part Two as a cultural moment and praised it for managing to capture the marketplace all around the globe.

“Audiences are responding to the combination of Denis Villeneuve’s ability to tell a story in an extraordinary way and the extraordinary cast. This is a moment for Timothée Chalamet,” Goldstein told Variety.

Dune: Part Two is a huge hit on premium format screens, such as IMAX, and  Villeneuve’s decision to film it with IMAX cameras certainly paid off. IMAX screenings accounted for $18.5 million of domestic ticket sales, representing 23% of the market share, and the company’s CEO Rich Gelfond said “The only reason it wasn’t higher is we ran out of seats,” adding they’ve been sold out for weeks in advance.

The yet-to-be-titled feature about the folk icon hails from Ford v Ferrari filmmaker James Mangold. 

Per Entertainment Weekly, the film is set in 1965 and will follow the Dylan “as he made his controversial shift to rock and roll and the electric guitar.”

The pic about Dylan won’t be the first time Mangold makes a movie about a musical icon. He co-wrote and directed the Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line, which earned its leads, Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon an Oscar nomination and an Oscar win respectively. 

Chalamet most recently starred in Greta Gerwig’s Little Women adaptation as Laurie. He has a big year ahead starring in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune adaptation and the new Wes Anderson film The French Dispatch.
