Marty Supreme Shatters Records as Chalamet Charges Toward Oscar Glory
A24 has a new heavyweight on its hands and it is not a superhero epic or a franchise sequel. It is a table tennis biopic that is rewriting the studio’s record books and putting Timothée Chalamet squarely in the center of the Oscar race.
Marty Supreme has surged past expectations, becoming the highest-grossing film in A24’s history. With nearly 150 million dollars worldwide and counting, the film is closing in on major milestones that few predicted for a mid-budget sports drama. In North America alone, it is approaching the 100 million dollar mark and internationally it continues to expand, with major releases still rolling out across Asia and Europe.
At the heart of this momentum is Chalamet’s transformation into Marty Reisman, the flamboyant and fiercely driven table tennis champion who rose to fame in 1950s New York. The film, directed by Josh Safdie, captures the grit and showmanship of a man who turned ping pong into prime-time spectacle. And audiences have responded in force.

What makes this story even more compelling is the behind-the-scenes shift. Marty Supreme marks a new chapter for Josh Safdie following his creative split from his brother Benny Safdie. While Benny pursued a different project in the wrestling drama Smashing Machine, Josh focused on this character-driven sports portrait. The result is not just a box office success, but a critical triumph that has earned nine Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.
That Oscar attention matters. Awards buzz often translates into ticket sales and industry analysts believe a strong showing at the ceremony could push the film well beyond the 150 million dollar milestone. For an independently minded studio like A24, that kind of performance signals a shift in scale and ambition.
But there are challenges. With the film now available across digital platforms, piracy concerns have emerged, threatening to chip away at potential revenue. Even so, the global appetite for the story appears strong, especially as new markets like China prepare for release.
This is more than a sports movie. It is a case study in how bold storytelling, tight budgeting and star power can collide at exactly the right moment. And as the Oscars approach, all eyes will be on whether Marty Supreme can convert nominations into gold.
Stay with us as we continue to track the box office numbers, the awards race and the global rollout of a film that has already made history and may not be finished yet.
