Timothée Chalamet’s latest film, Marty Supreme, has quickly surpassed expectations by becoming A24’s highest-grossing movie worldwide as of February 9. The sports drama directed by Josh Safdie has earned over $147 million globally, overtaking the previous record-holder, Everything Everywhere All at Once, which earned just under $145 million in 2023. This unexpected success highlights the film’s strong appeal.
The Film’s Unique Storyline and Domestic Success
Marty Supreme centers around Marty Mauser, a competitive ping pong player portrayed by Chalamet, whose chaotic journey leads him toward global championship status. Despite its unconventional subject matter, the film broke A24’s domestic record in January 2026, generating $80 million in the United States alone. It then extended its reach internationally to claim the studio’s global box office crown.
Critical Acclaim and Award Recognitions
The movie has gained significant recognition, with nine Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Timothée Chalamet. Additionally, it earned three Golden Globe nominations, where Chalamet secured his first win after five previous nominations. These accolades have contributed to the overall buzz and momentum surrounding the film.
International Rollout and Potential Growth
So far, Marty Supreme has opened selectively in international markets, with upcoming releases planned in key European and Asian countries like France, Germany, and others. These territories are expected to increase the film’s total earnings, putting its global revenue within reach of $200 million once fully distributed.
Ranking Among Top A24 Hits
The current A24 earnings leaderboard features Marty Supreme at the top with $147 million, followed by Everything Everywhere All at Once ($145M), Civil War ($127M), Materialists ($106M), Talk to Me ($91M), Hereditary ($81M), Lady Bird ($80M), Moonlight ($65M), Babygirl ($64M), and Heretic ($58M). This leap illustrates Marty Supreme’s substantial impact on A24’s portfolio.
The Role of Marketing and Chalamet’s Influence
Despite the film’s unusual focus on table tennis, the marketing efforts, including Timothée Chalamet’s involvement, appear to have resonated well with audiences, driving ticket sales and attention. This success might signal a shift in how smaller studios compete on the global stage with unique stories led by charismatic stars.
