Marty Supreme emerges as one of A24’s top-performing original films

Marty Supreme added $12.5 million in early 2026, bringing Timothée Chalamet’s A24 drama to $56 million domestically

A24’s original drama Marty Supreme continues to show steady box office momentum as it enters the first full weekend of 2026, reinforcing Timothée Chalamet’s drawing power outside major franchises.

The Josh Safdie-directed ping-pong dramedy earned $12.5 million from 2,887 North American theaters over the weekend, declining just 30% from the lucrative post-Christmas frame. The modest drop places Marty Supreme among the strongest holdovers of the holiday season, especially for an adult-skewing, original release. Its domestic total now stands at $56 million.

The performance marks a significant milestone for A24. With current ticket sales, Marty Supreme has surpassed the worldwide gross of Safdie’s critically acclaimed Uncut Gems and now ranks among the studio’s highest-grossing films to date. However, the financial picture remains complex. The film carries a reported production budget of $70 million, making it A24’s most expensive project so far. Continued box office durability will be key to ensuring long-term profitability through theatrical play and downstream revenue.

Chalamet’s star power has been a central driver of the film’s success, particularly as January typically sees limited new releases. With studios largely holding back fresh titles, Marty Supreme has benefited from reduced competition and strong word-of-mouth among arthouse audiences.

Despite being overshadowed by mega-budget releases such as Avatar: Fire and Ash and Zootopia 2, Marty Supreme has carved out a distinct space in the marketplace. Its sustained performance highlights ongoing demand for prestige-driven, original storytelling amid a franchise-heavy theatrical landscape.

As 2026 begins with box office revenues pacing ahead of last year, Marty Supreme stands out as one of the year’s early success stories for independent cinema.
