Marty Supreme has smashed several major box office records. The new ping pong drama, which has its wide expansion on Christmas Day, was directed by Josh Safdie and stars Timothée Chalamet. Marty Supreme reviews have been glowing, earning the movie a Certified Fresh 95% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
Per Deadline, as of Sunday morning, Marty Supreme is projected to earn a 3-day total of $875,000 from just six theaters during its limited domestic debut. It has sold out more than 90 screenings over the weekend so far and earned a per-screen average of $145,900.
In addition to beating Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme (which had a $95,000 per-screen average during its own limited debut) to earn the best limited per-screen average of 2025 so far, it has earned A24’s best per-screen average in history. Their previous record was the Safdie Brothers’ Uncut Gems, with $107,448.
This astounding limited opening weekend for Marty Supreme is historic in general, marking the 15th best debut per-screen average for any movie in history, behind all-time hits such as La La Land ($176,220), Frozen ($243,390), Toy Story 2 ($300,163), and 1994’s The Lion King ($793,376).
A24 has made a habit of drawing in huge audiences for historic debuts. In fact, 19 of their titles are among the Top 200 debut per-screen averages of all time. Including Marty Supreme, six of their titles are in the Top 50. Below, see a breakdown of where those movies rank on the all-time chart and how they ultimately performed worldwide:

As these box office totals prove, it is ultimately too soon to tell how high Marty Supreme can climb at the box office by the end of its run. However, if it has a similar multiplier to the Saoirse Ronan movie Lady Bird or the Barry Jenkins-directed Moonlight, it could potentially reach a total around $110.5 million.
This might not be enough for the movie to break even. Its reported budget of between $60 and $70 million (which makes it the most expensive movie of all time for A24) could place its estimated break-even point as high as $175 million.
However, Marty Supreme could potentially climb even higher than that thanks to the star power of Timothée Chalamet. While his 2024 Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown wasn’t a smash theatrical hit, only grossing $140.5 million against a reported budget of roughly $70 million, five of his movies have grossed more than $200 million apiece since 2019.
Additionally, Marty Supreme (much like A Complete Unknown) is not completely beholden to box office profits. If it becomes a major player in the 2025-2026 awards season and earns Timothée Chalamet his third Oscar nomination, it could generate prestige for A24 that is much more valuable than a few more millions of dollars in theaters.
