Timothée Chalamet’s Marty Supreme has served up a massive win for A24, delivering the studio’s biggest 4-day opening weekend ever with an estimated $28.3 million domestically over the Christmas holiday frame (December 25-28, 2025). The Josh Safdie-directed ping-pong drama also claimed A24’s second-biggest 3-day opening at $17.5 million, cementing its status as a holiday breakout.
This marks a historic milestone for the indie powerhouse, surpassing previous records in extended holiday openings while trailing only Alex Garland’s Civil War ($25.5M 3-day in 2024) for traditional weekends. With a reported $60-70 million budget – A24’s most expensive ever – the strong start signals profitability and awards potential.
Breaking Down the Numbers
- Limited Debut (Dec 19-21): $875K from just 6 theaters – record $145,933 per-screen average (best for A24 ever and highest since La La Land in 2016).
- Wide Christmas Release: $9.5M on opening day (Dec 25), including previews.
- Full Holiday Frame: $28.3M (4-day), beating expectations and powering past competitors like Anaconda ($23.7M 4-day).
Chalamet’s relentless marketing – from Sphere stunts to viral Zoom skits – and glowing reviews (95% Rotten Tomatoes, “B+” CinemaScore) drove younger audiences (65% under 35) and word-of-mouth.
Why This Record Matters for A24 & Chalamet
A24 proves indies can dominate holidays with originals. Chalamet continues his Christmas streak (Wonka, A Complete Unknown), drawing crowds for non-franchise films.
As 2025 ends, Marty Supreme positions itself for long legs into awards season – Oscar buzz for Chalamet is heating up.
