Marty Supreme opened to $28.3 million over the five-day Christmas frame, marking A24's second-highest debut behind only Civil War and well on the way to supporting the indie studio's $60-70 million investment.
Josh Safdie's frenetic 1950s table tennis drama, anchored by Timothée Chalamet in what critics are calling a career-defining performance, proves A24 can operate at scale without abandoning the creative risk-taking that built its institutional credibility. This is Chalamet's third consecutive Christmas box office win following Wonka and A Complete Unknown. That the film earned 95% on Rotten Tomatoes while pulling strong opening numbers suggests the cultural appetite for sophisticated storytelling hasn't disappeared.
