A24 has a new box office champion. The indie studio, known for producing critically acclaimed films like Everything Everywhere All at Once and Moonlight, has just seen Marty Supreme climb to the top of its all-time earnings chart. Directed by Josh Safdie and starring Timothée Chalamet, the sports dramedy has officially become A24’s highest-grossing film, surpassing the previous record-holder, Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Released in early 2026, Marty Supreme quickly captured the attention of both audiences and critics. The film follows the story of a young athlete navigating ambition, fame, and personal struggles, with Chalamet delivering what many call a career-defining performance. Its unique blend of humor, drama, and sports action created broad appeal beyond traditional indie filmgoers, contributing to its rapid box office climb.
Marty Supreme has grossed approximately $147–148 million worldwide, overtaking Everything Everywhere All at Once, which had previously earned around $142–143 million globally. This milestone is particularly significant for A24, a studio celebrated for taking risks on bold, unconventional projects that often defy mainstream expectations.
The film’s success can be attributed to several factors:
- Star Power: Timothée Chalamet continues to be a major draw, bringing in fans across demographics.
- Critical Acclaim: Early reviews praised the Safdie brothers’ direction and the film’s emotional depth.
- Wide Release Strategy: Unlike some indie releases, Marty Supreme saw a broad theatrical rollout, maximizing its box office potential.
This achievement marks a new era for A24, showing that independent studios can compete with Hollywood giants in terms of global revenue. While the studio has long been celebrated for its awards-worthy films, this success demonstrates that indie cinema can also achieve mainstream commercial impact.
In comparison, Everything Everywhere All at Once remains a cultural milestone for the studio, known for its genre-bending storytelling and historic Oscar wins. However, Marty Supreme’s broader audience appeal and box office strategy allowed it to edge past the 2022 hit, solidifying A24’s reputation as a powerhouse for both critical acclaim and financial success.
