A24 has a new global champion at the box office. The R-rated sports dramedy “Marty Supreme,” led by Timothée Chalamet, has climbed to the top of the studio’s all-time worldwide earnings list, collecting roughly $147 million globally so far. That figure places it ahead of previous standouts like the Oscar-winning “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and Alex Garland’s “Civil War” reshuffling the ranking of the indie studio’s biggest theatrical hits.
Of the total gross, about $93 million has come from North America, with an additional $54 million generated internationally. The film had already secured the title of A24’s biggest domestic performer earlier in the year, and continued momentum overseas helped push it past earlier benchmarks only weeks later. With several major territories still awaiting release, its global earnings are expected to climb further.
The project also represents a major financial swing for the company. A24 invested approximately $70 million in production — the largest budget in its history — not including marketing expenses. While box office revenue is shared with exhibitors, sustained ticket sales have been encouraging for both the distributor and theater partners.
Released in the U.S. and Canada on Christmas Day, the film delivered a strong start with $27 million during the extended holiday frame. Strong critical reception and positive audience buzz helped maintain interest, with Chalamet’s promotional push contributing to the film’s visibility. Directed by Josh Safdie, the story centers on fictional table-tennis prodigy Marty Mauser, chronicling his intense personal and professional struggles in pursuit of championship status.
Alongside Chalamet, the ensemble cast includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher. The film has also gained traction during awards season — Chalamet has already secured major acting honors, and the production earned multiple Academy Award nominations, including top categories.
“Marty Supreme” arrives amid a mixed financial period for A24. Some recent titles performed strongly, while others failed to recoup sizable budgets, highlighting the unpredictable nature of theatrical returns in the indie-studio space. Looking ahead, the company’s upcoming slate features a wide tonal range — from a music-focused mockumentary and star-driven romantic comedy to a psychological drama — signaling continued experimentation with commercially ambitious projects.
With its combination of star power, awards momentum, and expanding global rollout, “Marty Supreme” has not only reshaped A24’s box office hierarchy but also demonstrated that specialty studios can still compete for mainstream theatrical attention when the right elements align.
