Josh Safdie's 'Marty Supreme,' starring Timothée Chalamet as a 1950s table tennis hustler, added $27 million over the four-day Christmas weekend, bringing its total to $28.3 million and debuting at No. 3. This extends Chalamet's streak of holiday hits, following 'Wonka' and 'A Complete Unknown.'
Building on its strong limited debut and nationwide expansion to 2,668 screens, Marty Supreme grossed $27 million over the holiday frame for a $28.3 million total—the second-highest opening for A24 behind Civil War ($25 million)—despite a $70 million budget, its largest ever. It trails Avatar: Fire and Ash ($64 million) and Zootopia 2 ($20 million), with a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score and B+ CinemaScore signaling legs into 2026.
Chalamet's holiday dominance persists: 2023's Wonka opened to $39 million domestically ($634 million worldwide), while 2024's A Complete Unknown tallied $75 million North America ($140 million global) after a $11.6 million Christmas Day start. Marty Supreme slots between them in openings. "Seemingly every year, Timothée has a major hit during the holiday corridor," said Comscore's Paul Dergarabedian. "No matter the genre... he's a bona fide movie star and box-office draw."
Chalamet's promotion—1950s windbreakers, a blimp—earned praise: "High-level genius," per analyst Jeff Bock. Dune: Part III is set for December 18, 2026, poised to prolong the streak.
