Three cheers for Marty.
“Marty Supreme,” an R-rated sports dramedy starring Timothée Chalamet, officially ranks as A24‘s highest-grossing worldwide release of all time. The film has generated a mighty $147 million globally, including $93 million in the United States and $54 million overseas. Those ticket sales have surpassed the Oscar best-picture winner “Everything Everywhere All at Once” ($142 million) and Alex Garland’s dystopian thriller “Civil War” ($127 million worldwide), which previously stood as A24’s biggest movies at the worldwide box office.
Earlier this year, “Marty Supreme” earned the distinction of A24’s highest-grossing domestic release, overtaking the benchmark held by “Everything Everywhere” with $77 million. It took the film just a few extra weeks to notch the global distinction.
And its global tally will keep rising because “Marty Supreme” has yet to open in several big international territories, according to A24. The studio shelled out $70 million on production costs (the most the arthouse company has ever spent on a film) before accounting for marketing expenses. So the movie’s box office staying power has been a relief since theater owners get to keep about half of ticket sales.
“Marty Supreme” opened in the U.S. and Canada on Christmas Day to $27 million over the extended holiday period. Chalamet was vital in drumming up the momentum for the original film, which remained a theatrical draw due to rave reviews and stellar word of mouth. Directed by Josh Safdie, the frenetic adventure follows Chalamet as the fictional ping-pong champ Marty Mauser, who puts himself through the wringer to pursue his dream of becoming a table-tennis champ. Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara and Fran Drescher co-star in the film.
“Marty Supreme” has been a major awards player, with Chalamet winning the Golden Globe and Critics Choice for best actor. The film has been nominated for nine Oscars, including best picture, lead actor for Chalamet and director for Safdie.
A24 had an otherwise volatile 2025 at the box office, with wins such as Celine Song’s romantic drama “Materialists” ($104 million) and supernatural thriller “Bring Her Back” ($39 million) as well as costly duds like Benny Safdie’s wrestling biopic “The Smashing Machine” ($21 million against a $50 million budget) and Ari Aster’s satirical Western “Eddington” ($13 million against a $25 million budget). The studio’s slate in 2026 includes the Charli xcx mockumentary “The Moment,” Zendaya and Robert Pattinson-led romantic comedy “The Drama” and Anne Hathaway’s psychodrama “Mother Mary.”
