A24’s Oscar drama “Marty Supreme” starring four-time Academy Award nominee Timothée Chalamet will be theatrically released in China through China Film Group with promotional support from Wanda Film.
The Josh Safdie-directed film has emerged as a major awards contender with nine Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. The sports drama has been widely praised by critics and viewers, with Chalamet’s performance receiving particular praise.
“Marty Supreme” has already established itself as a commercial powerhouse, becoming A24’s highest-grossing film domestically. The film is on track to be the indie studio’s biggest global success to date.
The actor, who also produced the film along with Safdie, Ronald Bronstein, Eli Bush and Anthony Katagas, has built a strong relationship with Chinese film fans through his previous releases. His biggest success in this field was Dune: Part 2, which grossed $49 million in China when Wanda Film released it in March 2024.
“Making ‘Marty Supreme’ was a very meaningful experience for me, and I’m really excited to be working with Wanda Film to bring this film to Chinese audiences,” Chalamet said in a statement. “We can’t wait for Chinese viewers to experience ‘Marty Supreme’ and join us on its continued journey around the world.”
The nine Oscar nominations for “Marty Supreme” include cinematography, editing, production design, casting, costume design and original screenplay. The film’s release in China is the latest step in its worldwide theatrical release.
Although a theatrical release date has not been disclosed, A24 has released a poster for China Bow.
