A24's Ping Pong Drama 'Marty Supreme' Surpasses $80 Million at US Box Office, Becomes Biggest Hit for the Indie Distributor.
In a remarkable turn of events, Timothée Chalamet-starrer "Marty Supreme" has solidified its position as A24's most successful film in North American theaters, surpassing the $80 million mark at the domestic box office. The ping pong drama, which had already gained immense buzz through a viral publicity campaign spearheaded by Chalamet, continues to attract audiences and raking in millions of dollars.
According to early estimates reported by Hollywood trade publications, "Marty Supreme" grossed an estimated $5.4 million over the traditional weekend, overtaking A24's previous highest-grossing movie in total domestic box office sales. This is a significant milestone for the film, considering its production budget was reportedly between $60 million and $70 million.
The film's impressive performance can be attributed to Chalamet's critically acclaimed performance, which earned him a Golden Globe for "Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy." The award has undoubtedly contributed to the film's growing popularity, drawing in more viewers who are eager to see what all the fuss is about.
Beyond its domestic success, "Marty Supreme" also shows promise on the international front. Although it had only grossed $13.9 million overseas before this weekend, its latest earnings have pushed it closer to other countries. The film's prospects for a significant return in these markets remain uncertain, but it remains to be seen if it can replicate its domestic success abroad.
In comparison to other A24 movies, "Marty Supreme" has surpassed the 2022 Best Picture winner "Everything Everywhere All At Once," which grossed $77 million at domestic theaters and $142.8 million worldwide. However, it is unclear whether this will translate to a similar level of international success, as the film's current overseas earnings are significantly lower.
Looking beyond "Marty Supreme," the weekend box office has seen some notable performances from established films like "Avatar: Fire and Ash" and new releases like "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple." While the zombie horror franchise installment underperformed expectations, it still managed to hold onto a respectable spot in the rankings. Disney's "Zootopia 2" also maintained its position among the top performers, while "The Housemaid" continued its run at the box office with an additional $8.5 million.
As awards season approaches and more films are released, it will be interesting to see how "Marty Supreme" continues to attract audiences and drive revenue for A24.
