Timothée Chalamet's table tennis dramedy Marty Supreme generated $2 million in previews on Christmas Eve, nearly tying with Sony's Anaconda. The film, directed by Josh Safdie, is loosely based on the life of 1950s ping pong champion Marty Reisman. It follows a strong limited release and targets over $20 million for the holiday weekend.
Timothée Chalamet underwent extensive ping-pong training for his role as a hustler in Josh Safdie's Marty Supreme, set in 1950s New York. The actor, guided by trainer Diego Schaaf and Olympian Wei Wang, performed all scenes without a stunt double and adapted to period-specific techniques. The film's soundtrack features anachronistic 1980s music to blend past and present themes.
