The sports dramedy "Marty Supreme," starring Timothée Chalamet, has officially become A24's most commercially successful film worldwide to date.
The film grossed $147 million, including $93 million in the United States and $54 million abroad, Variety magazine reports.
This surpassed the Oscar winner for best picture "Everything Everywhere All at Once" ($142 million) and the dystopian thriller "Civil War" by director Alex Garland ($127 million worldwide), which were previously considered A24's biggest hits at the global box office.
Earlier this year, “Marty the Magnificent” became A24’s top domestic release in the U.S., surpassing the previous record of “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” which took in $77 million. The film only needed a few more weeks to break the worldwide record.
Its global gross will continue to rise, as “Marty the Magnificent” has yet to open in several major international territories, according to A24. The studio spent $70 million on the production — the most the company has ever spent on a film — not including marketing costs. That’s why the film’s continued success at the box office was a relief, since theater owners keep about half of the revenue from ticket sales.
Marty the Magnificent opened in the United States and Canada on Christmas Day, grossing $27 million over the extended holiday period. Chalamet was instrumental in raising interest in the film, which remained a box office magnet thanks to rave reviews and audience recommendations.
Directed by Josh Safdie, the film follows Chalamet as fictional table tennis player Marty Mauser, who pushes himself to the limit to achieve his dream of becoming the world ping-pong champion. The film also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa Azion, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher.
"Marty the Magnificent" was a major player in awards season, with Chalamet winning a Golden Globe and a Critics' Choice Award for Best Actor. The film was nominated for nine Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Chalamet, and Best Director for Safdie.
A24 had a rather volatile 2025 at the box office: wins included Celine Song's romantic drama "Materialists" ($104 million) and thriller "Bring Her Back" ($39 million), but also expensive flops like Benny Safdie's wrestling biopic "The Smashing Machine" ($21 million on a $50 million budget) and Ari Aster's satirical western "Eddington" ($13 million on a $25 million budget). The studio's 2026 schedule includes the pseudo-documentary comedy "The Moment" starring Charli xcx, the romantic comedy "The Drama" starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, and the psychodrama "Mother Mary" starring Anne Hathaway.
