The film Marty Supreme earned $10.8 million as its domestic total through Christmas Day (December 25, 2025), which includes its previews and limited release earnings. This figure nearly matched early trade tracking estimates, showcasing strong audience turnout.

The film, which carries a $70 million budget, is the most expensive A24 production to date. Despite the significant investment, its critical success is equally strong, maintaining a 95% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. This combination of commercial appeal and critical acclaim underscores its breakthrough status.

Marty Supreme ended its opening day inches away from the record for the biggest Christmas Day opening for an original R-rated drama (2008 film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), a milestone often associated with the career-best holiday performances of stars like Brad Pitt.

It set a record for the highest domestic opening day in A24's history. It also holds the studio's record for the highest per-theater average at $145,933, the best for any limited release since 2016's La La Land. The film now ranks as the third-highest-grossing R-rated film on Christmas Day.
