Summary

• Timothée Chalamet cements his status as the King of the Holiday Box Office, scoring a career hat-trick with a $27 million USD debut that follows the successes of Wonka and A Complete Unknown
• The $70 million production has sprinted to a $28.3 million USD cumulative total, marking the second-highest debut in A24 history behind only Civil War

Marty Supreme has debuted at third place in the North American box office just behind Avatar: Fire and Ash with $64 million USD and Zootopia 2 with $20 million USD, confirming Timothée Chalamet’s status as the King of the Christmas box office. Setting a new pace for independent movies, Marty Supreme has sprinted to a $28.3 million USD cumulative total. This impressive figure cements the film as A24‘s second-highest debut ever, second only to the $25 million USD opening of Civil War.

Chalamet has officially turned December into his own high-stakes residency. His holiday domination is already booked through 2026 with the arrival of Dune: Part III. Following Wonka and the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, Chalamet has scored a hat-trick with Marty Supreme, dominating the four-day frame with a $27 million debut USD. Showing no signs of fading, the $70 million USD-budget movie is the most ambitious investment in A24’s history, expecting to remain a box office draw into the new year with its positive reviews, a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, a B+ grade on CinemaScore.

Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme is a frenetic comedy-of-errors that follows the fictional Marty Mauser as he pursues his dream of becoming a table-tennis champ. Mauser, portrayed by Timothée Chalamet, is a complex study in mid-century anti-heroism, a motormouth who is manipulative and selfish while undeniably brilliant. His mastery over the netted table is a visceral, magnetic spectacle.
