Don’t doubt the hustle of Marty Mauser.
A24‘s “Marty Supreme,” a sports dramedy starring Timothée Chalamet as a fictional table tennis champ, has surpassed $100 million globally. It’s the fourth A24 release to ever cross this box office milestone after 2022’s Oscar best picture winner “Everything Everywhere All at Once” ($142 million), 2024’s dystopian thriller “Civil War” ($127 million) and last year’s romantic drama “Materialists” ($107 million). This benchmark is especially impressive because it’s been a challenging time for arthouse releases; “Marty Supreme” and “Materialists” were 2025’s only independent films to generate above $100 million.
Thanks to Chalamet’s unconventional marketing efforts and glowing word-of-mouth from critics and audiences, “Marty Supreme” has earned $102.3 million worldwide, including $80.8 million in the United States and $21.5 million overseas. Top international markets include the United Kingdom with $16 million, Canada with $5.7 million and Mexico with $944,000. (Canada is traditionally a part of North American grosses, but A24 only distributes its films in the U.S. and partners with companies such as Entertainment Film Distributors, Elevation and Sun Distribution Group for other territories.)
“Marty Supreme” recently became A24’s highest-grossing movie in the U.S. after overtaking the benchmark held by “Everything Everywhere All at Once” with $77 million. Where “Marty” will end up on A24’s worldwide charts remains to be seen. However, the film is likely to remain a draw in the States through awards season, and it’s yet to be released in several overseas markets. “Marty Supreme” debuts next weekend in 12 territories, including Australia, Brazil and Italy.
“Marty Supreme” cost $70 million, which makes it A24’s most expensive film to date and means it hasn’t climbed out of the red. (Remember: Theater owners keep about half of ticket sales.) However, “Marty Supreme” has been valuable to A24 on the awards circuit (Chalamet won the Golden Globe and Critics Choice for best actor) and is expected to be a major contender when Oscar nominations are announced on Thursday. Josh Safdie directed the frenetic, R-rated adventure, which follows Marty Mauser as he goes through hell and back to pursue his dream of becoming the world’s best ping pong player.
