Marty Supreme: A24’s Highest-Grossing Film of All Time

Cheers to ‘Marty Supreme’! The R-rated sports dramedy, led by the phenomenal Timothée Chalamet, has officially cemented its place in A24 history as the studio’s highest-grossing worldwide release to date. The film has impressively generated a staggering $147 million globally, breaking previous records held by critically acclaimed films.

Breaking Box Office Records

With $93 million earned in the United States and an additional $54 million internationally, ‘Marty Supreme’ has surpassed the box office achievements of previous A24 hits. It has exceeded the earnings of the Oscar-winning ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ ($142 million) and Alex Garland’s gripping dystopian thriller ‘Civil War’ ($127 million worldwide). This success is a significant milestone for the independent studio.

Earlier this year, ‘Marty Supreme’ already distinguished itself as A24’s highest-grossing domestic release, surpassing ‘Everything Everywhere’ with a remarkable $77 million. It didn’t take long for the film to achieve global dominance.

A Significant Investment Pays Off

A24 invested $70 million in the production of ‘Marty Supreme’ – the largest production budget the studio has ever undertaken. Considering marketing expenses, the film’s enduring box office performance is a welcome relief, especially given that theaters typically retain around half of the ticket sales revenue. The film’s continued success is a testament to its appeal and quality.

The Rise of Marty Mauser

The film debuted in the U.S. and Canada on Christmas Day, raking in $27 million over the extended holiday period. Timothée Chalamet’s involvement was instrumental in building momentum, and the film benefited from overwhelmingly positive reviews and strong word-of-mouth. Directed by Josh Safdie, ‘Marty Supreme’ follows the frenetic journey of Marty Mauser (Chalamet), a fictional ping-pong champion relentlessly pursuing his dream. The stellar cast also includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher.

Awards Season Recognition

‘Marty Supreme’ has become a major contender during awards season. Timothée Chalamet has already secured Golden Globe and Critics Choice awards for his outstanding performance. The film has received nine Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Chalamet), and Best Director (Safdie). This recognition further solidifies the film’s critical acclaim and cultural impact.

A24’s 2025 and Beyond

While 2025 presented a mixed bag for A24 at the box office, with successes like Celine Song’s ‘Materialists’ ($104 million) and ‘Bring Her Back’ ($39 million), the studio also faced challenges with films like ‘The Smashing Machine’ ($21 million against a $50 million budget) and ‘Eddington’ ($13 million against a $25 million budget). Looking ahead to 2026, A24 has an exciting slate planned, including the Charli xcx mockumentary ‘The Moment,’ the Zendaya and Robert Pattinson-led romantic comedy ‘The Drama,’ and Anne Hathaway’s psychodrama ‘Mother Mary’.
