The Timmy Hustle Paid Off for 'Marty Supreme'

Over the four-day Christmas movies-release window, blockbusterdom’s reigning titles claimed the top two spots at the box office: James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ice soared to a cumulative $760 million worldwide in its second week of release, delivering big for its studio distributor, Disney, along with Zootopia 2 ($1.4 billion in week five). But the Timothée Chalamet ping-pong dramedy Marty Supreme served up an ace for A24 at No. 3. Across its first weekend in 2,600 North American cinemas, the R-rated star vehicle took in $17.5 million to rank as A24’s second-biggest three-day debut to date. (Alex Garland’s disaster-fantasy Civil War retains the title, with $25.7 million over its first three days in April 2024.)
