A24’s nine-time Oscar nominee Marty Supreme is getting a China release via China Film Group with an assist in promotion by Wanda Film. The news comes just as the Timothée Chalamet movie is about to become the highest grossing ever in A24’s history, surpassing the reported worldwide gross of Everything Everywhere All at Once ($142.8M). Marty Supreme‘s global running cume as of Monday stood north of $133M.
Already, Marty Supreme is the highest grossing A24 movie at the domestic B.O. with $91.1M.
Marty Supreme joins a group of Chalamet-leading titles to play the Middle Kingdom including Dune 2 ($49M, his highest grossing there), Dune ($39.5M), Wonka ($7.5M) and A Complete Unknown ($152K) to name a few.
Marty Supreme is now nominated for nine Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director for Josh Safdie, and Best Actor Chalamet. Chalamet is nominated for two Oscars in the Best Picture category as a producer of the pic (alongside Safdie, scribe Ronald Bronstein, and producers Eli Bush and Anthony Katagas) and Best Actor. Overall, Chalamet counts four Oscar nominations.
Marty Supreme also counts noms for Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Production Design, Best Casting, Best Costume Design, and Best Original Screenplay.
Chalamet said, “Producing Marty Supreme has been a deeply meaningful experience for me, and I’m genuinely thrilled to be working with Wanda Film to bring the film to audiences in China. I can’t wait for Chinese audiences to experience Marty Supreme and to be part of its continued journey around the world.”
