Marty Supreme, which has generated significant buzz for what many are calling a career-best performance by actor Timothée Chalamet, is seeing underwhelming results in the domestic box office.

Released domestically on the 1st, Marty Supreme recorded 19,985 admissions on its first day and 10,360 on its second, bringing its cumulative total to just 31,762 viewers.

The film was highly anticipated as the second-highest-grossing project from A24—a studio that has become a trusted name in Korea—and as a showcase for the best acting from Timothée Chalamet, who commands a strong fan base in the country. However, in its early release period, the film has struggled to surpass the momentum of The Eyes and Toy Story 5.

Critical reception for the film has been generally positive, with many praising Timothée Chalamet’s performance as awe-inspiring. However, the film's narrative and characters have failed to fully resonate with audiences, which is hindering positive word-of-mouth.

Director Josh Safdie uses the protagonist, Marty, to critique the illusions of the American Dream. The twists and turns of this journey serve as the film's primary source of intrigue and entertainment. Marty Supreme is currently maintaining a third-place spot in ticket reservation rates, with hopes for a rebound over the weekend.

Marty Supreme is a bold and dynamic film that depicts the journey of Marty Reisman, a man obsessed with a dream that no one else respects, as he goes to hell and back to become the best. Based on the life of American table tennis champion Marty Reisman, the film is considered Timothée Chalamet’s finest performance to date and swept the Best Actor awards at this year’s Critics Choice Awards and the Golden Globe Awards.
