Budget, Break-Even & Box Office Surplus
Earlier, Marty Supreme also became A24’s highest-grossing worldwide release. Since it was made on a reported $70 million production budget, the film has already generated a box office surplus of $4.3 million over its estimated $175 million theatrical break-even point, based on the commonly cited 2.5x multiplier rule.
China Box Office Debut
Nearly three months after its U.S. theatrical release, the Timothée Chalamet-starrer debuted in China on March 20, 2026. However, without the boost it could have gotten from major Oscar wins, the film wasn’t able to secure a large number of screens in China.
On Friday, it opened in the territory with just around 6,000 screenings, according to box office analyst Luiz Fernando. It collected an underwhelming $46k on Friday, bringing the total to $300k, including early screenings.

On Saturday, the Josh Safdie-directed film is expected to expand to 15,000 screenings, with around $28k in pre-sales so far. So, without the Oscar-winning boost, it appears that Marty Supreme may not be well-positioned to replicate its U.K. box-office success in the Chinese market. However, the final verdict will become clearer in the coming weeks.
