Marty Supreme has premiered in third place at the North American box office, generating $17 million USD over the weekend, trailing behind Avatar: Fire and Ash with $64 million USD and Zootopia 2 with $20 million USD, so affirming Timothée Chalamet’s position as the King of the Christmas box office. Marty Supreme has established a new benchmark for independent films, with a cumulative total of $28.3 million USD. This remarkable sum establishes the film as A24's second-highest premiere to date, surpassed only by the $25 million USD opening of Civil War.

Chalamet has officially transformed December into his personal high-stakes residency. His holiday supremacy is already secured through 2026 with the release of Dune: Part III. After Wonka and the Bob Dylan movie A Complete Unknown, Chalamet has achieved a trifecta with Marty Supreme, leading the four-day period with a $27 million opening USD. The $70 million USD-budget film, A24's most ambitious venture to date, shows no signs of diminishing appeal and is anticipated to continue attracting audiences throughout the new year, bolstered by its favourable reviews, including a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a B+ grade on CinemaScore.

Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme is a chaotic comedy of errors that chronicles the fictional Marty Mauser's quest to achieve his aspiration of being a table-tennis champion. Mauser, depicted by Timothée Chalamet, exemplifies a multifaceted exploration of mid-century anti-heroism, characterised as a loquacious individual who is both deceptive and self-serving, while undoubtedly intelligent. His command of the netted table is a compelling and captivating display.
