"Marty Supreme," a 1950s ping-pong ball champ movie starring Timothée Chalamet, has landed a Christmas Day 2025 release from A24.
Lionsgate is also putting their Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney-led thriller "The Housemaid" on Christmas Day.
At the time, it will be an Avatar: Fire & Ash-filled holiday as the James Cameron threequel opens the weekend prior on December 19 along with an untitled Warner Bros. movie and an untitled SpongeBob Squarepants movie from Paramount.
Also opening Christmas Day is Amazon MGM Studios’ "Sarah’s Oil", an untitled Angel Studios movie, and an untitled Universal feature.
“Marty Supreme” is being billed as a cross between "Wolf of Wall Street" and "Catch Me If You Can". Producers on it are Eli Bush, Anthony Katagas, Bronstein, Safdie, Chalamet, and A24.
Josh Safdie directed the movie from a script he co-wrote with him and Ronald Bronstein.
The pic also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Tyler the Creator, Fran Drescher, Penn Jillette, Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary (aka Mr Wonderful), Abel Ferrera, and Sandra Bernhard.
“Marty Supreme” marks Josh’s first film in the director’s chair since “Uncut Gems,” and his first solo feature directorial effort since his debut, 2008’s “The Pleasure of Being Robbed.”
It carries a production cost of $70M, making the project the most expensive new package on sale at the latest AFM.
“Marty Supreme” is also A24’s joint most-expensive production to date alongside Dwayne Johnson starrer "The Smashing Machine", which is in post-production.
