Key Facts
How Does Marty Supreme Compare To Other A24 Movies?
“Marty Supreme” has now surpassed A24’s previous highest grossing movie, the 2022 Best Picture winner “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” which grossed $77 million at domestic theaters and $142.8 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo data. Although the Josh Safdie-directed ping pong drama has surpassed the film at the domestic box office, it’s unclear if it will be as big of a hit internationally. “Marty Supreme” had only grossed $13.9 million at overseas theaters before this weekend.
How Did Other Movies Fare This Weekend?
“Avatar: Fire and Ash” continued to dominate the box office over the weekend, grossing another $13.3 million for its fifth week leading box office sales. The third installment of James Cameron’s “Avatar” series has now grossed over $367 million at domestic theaters. Only one major new release was scheduled for this weekend—“28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,” the fourth installment in the zombie horror franchise following last year’s “28 Years Later.” The follow-up underperformed its $20 million-$22 million expectations, as reported by Variety, grossing only about $13 million over the traditional weekend and failing to surpass the still dominant “Avatar: Fire and Ash.” It’s expected to gross about $2 million more over Martin Luther King Jr. Day, for a four-day total of $15 million. Last year’s “28 Years Later,” the first new film in the franchise in about 18 years, opened with $30 million at North American theaters. The third and fourth place slots went to two other holdover hits—Disney’s ”Zootopia 2,” which grossed about $8.7 million, and “The Housemaid,” which continued its theatrical run to gross $8.5 million.
