A24's "Marty Supreme" Achieves Unprecedented Success Across the Globe
In a notable milestone, Timothée Chalamet-starrer "Marty Supreme", a sports dramedy about a table tennis champion, has shattered $100 million at the box office worldwide. This achievement marks the fourth A24 film to reach this benchmark, following Oscar-winning drama "Everything Everywhere All at Once" ($142 million), dystopian thriller "Civil War" ($127 million), and last year's romantic drama "Materialists" ($107 million).
Chalamet's unconventional marketing efforts and glowing word-of-mouth from critics and audiences have contributed significantly to the film's remarkable success. With a worldwide gross of $102.3 million, including $80.8 million in the United States and $21.5 million overseas, the film has proven to be a highly sought-after title globally.
International markets have also responded positively to the film, with notable performances in the UK ($16 million), Canada ($5.7 million), and Mexico ($944,000). The film's global appeal is expected to endure beyond its domestic run, as it makes its debut next weekend in 12 territories, including Australia, Brazil, and Italy.
Produced on a budget of $70 million, "Marty Supreme" has proven itself to be an astute investment for A24. Notably, the film's success comes without incurring any losses, given that theater owners keep about half of ticket sales. The film's financial performance is set to receive a significant boost as it enters the awards season, where Chalamet won several major awards for his portrayal of Marty Mauser.
Directed by Josh Safdie, "Marty Supreme" follows the inspiring true story of Marty Mauser, a table tennis player who overcame incredible obstacles to pursue his dream. As the film's global success continues to grow, it remains to be seen where it will rank among A24's most successful films in terms of worldwide grosses.
