A24's latest blockbuster, 'Marty Supreme', has shattered records and become the studio's highest-grossing film worldwide! This R-rated sports comedy-drama, starring the talented Timothée Chalamet, has captivated audiences and critics alike. With a global box office haul of $147 million, it has surpassed even Oscar-winning films like 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' and 'Civil War'.
But here's where it gets controversial: 'Marty Supreme' achieved this feat with a relatively modest budget of $70 million, making it the most expensive film for A24. Despite this, the movie's success has been a breath of fresh air for the studio, especially considering the mixed results of their 2025 releases.
The film's domestic success was a precursor to its global triumph. It opened to a whopping $27 million over the Christmas period in the U.S. and Canada, thanks in large part to Chalamet's star power and the film's critical acclaim. Directed by Josh Safdie, the film follows Marty Mauser, a fictional ping-pong champion played by Chalamet, on his intense journey to become a table tennis legend. The supporting cast includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, and more.
'Marty Supreme' has also been a major contender during awards season, with Chalamet taking home the Golden Globe and Critics' Choice awards for Best Actor. The film has received nine Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, a testament to its critical and commercial success.
And this is the part most people miss: 'Marty Supreme' has yet to release in several major international markets, which means its global tally is set to rise even further. A24's 2026 slate includes some intriguing projects, such as 'The Moment', 'The Drama', and 'Mother Mary', which could continue the studio's winning streak.
So, what do you think? Is 'Marty Supreme' a worthy addition to the A24 canon, or is its success overhyped? Let us know in the comments!
