The box office race between Marty Supreme and One Battle After Another has become the defining awards-season showdown of early 2026. Josh Safdie’s ping-pong drama is now within reach of overtaking Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film in North America.
As of January 14, 2026, Marty Supreme has earned $70.1 million domestically, trailing One Battle After Another by just $1.5 million. Anderson’s film has largely completed its theatrical run, while Marty Supreme is still playing in theaters.
The film received a major boost after Timothée Chalamet won Best Actor at the Golden Globes on January 11. His portrayal of 1950s table-tennis icon Marty Reisman has become one of the most talked-about performances of the season.
That awards momentum translated into strong ticket sales. The film added $7.6 million in its fourth weekend, despite losing 375 screens. Analysts say the sustained interest reflects strong word of mouth and continued awards attention.
Marty Supreme has also become a major milestone for A24. With a reported $65 million production budget, it is the most expensive film the studio has ever produced—and one of its most successful.
The movie has already passed Alex Garland’s Civil War ($68.7M) to become A24’s second-highest-grossing domestic release. It is projected to surpass Everything Everywhere All At Once ($77.1M) within days to claim the studio’s top spot.
Critics have praised the film’s character-driven storytelling and stylized 1950s New York City aesthetic. Meanwhile, One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, was widely applauded for its energy and humor, earning strong reviews before its run tapered off.
With international releases rolling out in markets like Australia and Germany, Marty Supreme is expected to push its worldwide total toward $120 million, signaling Josh Safdie’s firm arrival as a mainstream box-office force.
