Bob Dylan’s music catalogue is seeing a nice bump after his biopic, “A Complete Unknown,” came out. The movie follows Dylan through his early success, and stars Timothée Chalamet as the iconic rocker. During the week the movie hit ending on December 26th, Dylan’s catalogue saw 11.6-million on-demand streams. A month earlier his streams for a week were 8.1-million. That translates into the artist getting over a 100-percent increase in weekly streams in the time his movie dropped.
