"Marty Supreme," the sports comedy-drama directed by Josh Safdie and starring Timothée Chalamet, has become A24's highest-grossing film in North America, reaching $80 million at the domestic box office. This surpasses the previous record of $77 million held by "Everything Everywhere All at Once," the 2023 Best Picture winner. The film achieved this milestone during its fourth weekend in wide release, boosted by an estimated $6.6 million over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.
"Marty Supreme" premiered as a "secret screening" at the 2025 New York Film Festival on October 6, 2025, and was released in the United States on December 25, 2025. The movie, loosely based on the life of American table tennis player Marty Reisman, features Chalamet as the titular character alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher. The film is set in the 1950s and follows Marty Mauser, a semi-fictional ping-pong hustler, as he desperately tries to raise money to compete in the World Championship in Japan.
The film's success can be attributed to several factors, including positive reviews, strong social media buzz, and a bold marketing campaign led by Timothée Chalamet. Chalamet's promotional stunts, such as climbing the Las Vegas Sphere and reviving his "Lil Timmy Tim" persona, generated significant attention. The Christmas Day release also contributed to a strong opening, with the film earning $27.3 million over the four-day holiday weekend.
While "Everything Everywhere All at Once" remains A24's highest-grossing film worldwide with $142 million, "Marty Supreme" is poised to exceed that amount with its ongoing international rollout. The film has currently grossed $20 million overseas, bringing its global total to $102 million. Key markets like France, Spain, and Germany are still awaiting the film's release. "Marty Supreme" also became A24's highest-grossing film in the U.K., earning $8.6 million as of January 6, 2026.
Despite its box office success, "Marty Supreme" faces the challenge of turning a profit due to its reported budget of $70 million. A film is generally considered financially successful when it earns at least 2.5 times its budget to cover promotion and marketing costs. However, with Oscar nominations approaching and Chalamet considered a frontrunner for Best Actor, the film is expected to maintain its momentum in the coming months. Furthermore, the anticipated Blu-Ray release is expected to generate additional revenue.
"Marty Supreme" had a strong opening, making $9.8 million on its first day of wide release, including $2 million from Christmas Eve previews. In its opening weekend it made $875,000 in six theaters in Los Angeles and New York City. The film was named one of the top ten films of 2025 by the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute. It was also nominated for three awards at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Screenplay.
