A24's Indie Darling "Marty Supreme" Smashes Records at the Domestic Box Office, Replacing Former High-Roller "Everything Everywhere All At Once"
In a shocking turn of events, Timothée Chalamet's ping pong drama, "Marty Supreme", has overtaken A24's previous highest-grossing film in North American theaters to become the indie distributor's biggest hit. According to recent estimates, the movie raked in an impressive $5.4 million over the traditional weekend, shattering expectations and solidifying its position as a major box office success.
The budget for "Marty Supreme" was reportedly between $60 million-$70 million, which already puts it in a favorable light considering theaters typically take around half of ticket sales. As the film continues to attract audiences, it is expected that it will keep generating buzz leading up to awards season and has already taken home a Golden Globe award for Chalamet's outstanding performance.
Despite "Marty Supreme" surpassing A24's previous high-grosser "Everything Everywhere All At Once", which raked in $77 million domestically and $142.8 million worldwide, the film's international reach is still uncertain. As of now, it has only earned $13.9 million at overseas theaters.
In other news from the box office this weekend, James Cameron's latest installment "Avatar: Fire and Ash" continued its dominance with another $13.3 million in sales, bringing its total to over $367 million domestically. On the other hand, Josh Safdie's "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple", a highly anticipated follow-up to last year's hit, fell short of expectations, earning around $13 million and failing to surpass its predecessor.
With the holiday weekend coming to an end, it will be interesting to see how the remaining holdovers perform in the box office. As for "Marty Supreme", it is looking like a clear winner, pushing A24 further into the spotlight as a force to be reckoned with in the film industry.

Marty Supreme is low-key the new king of indie films and I'm here for it! Timothée Chalamet's performance is SO iconic and I love how the film broke all those expectations. A24 is on fire right now and I'm loving every minute of it 
The fact that it took down Everything Everywhere All At Once in just a weekend is insane, and I can already imagine it's gonna sweep up all those awards come Oscar season 
What do you guys think? Is Marty Supreme here to stay or was it just a one-hit wonder? 
. Can't a guy even watch his favorite indie flicks without being interrupted by commercial after commercial?!
but at the same time I think it's actually pretty expected? I mean, Timothée Chalamet has been on fire lately and his last movie was amazing too 
. The budget for this one was pretty reasonable and it's been getting great buzz leading up to awards season, which is a big deal 
. On the other hand, I'm a bit skeptical about "Marty Supreme" taking over as A24's biggest hit - what if it starts to get stale? 
and his performance in marty supreme is giving me all the feels 
it's amazing to see an indie film like this breaking records and gaining so much traction. a24 really knows how to produce magic 
and it's exciting to see them continue to rise as a major player in the film industry
