Washington DC, February 5

The Oscar-nominated movie 'Marty Supreme,' starring four-time Academy Award nominee Timothee Chalamet, will receive a theatrical release in China, reported Variety.

The film, directed by Josh Safdie, has emerged as a major awards contender with nine Oscar nominations, including nods for best picture, director and actor. The sports drama has been widely praised by critics and audiences, with Chalamet's performance drawing particular acclaim.

'Marty Supreme' has already established itself as a commercial powerhouse, becoming A24's highest-grossing release domestically. The film is on track to become the indie studio's biggest global success to date, reported Variety.

The actor, who also produced the film alongside Safdie, Ronald Bronstein, Eli Bush and Anthony Katagas, has cultivated a solid relationship with Chinese moviegoers through previous releases.

His biggest success in the territory came with 'Dune: Part Two,' which grossed 49 million USD in China when Wanda Film released it in March 2024, reported Variety.

"Producing 'Marty Supreme' has been a deeply meaningful experience for me, and I'm genuinely thrilled to be working with Wanda Film to bring the film to audiences in China," Chalamet said in a statement as quoted in Variety.

"I can't wait for Chinese audiences to experience 'Marty Supreme' and to be part of its continued journey around the world."

The nine Oscar nominations for 'Marty Supreme' include recognition for cinematography, editing, production design, casting, costume design and original screenplay.

The film's China release marks the latest step in its worldwide theatrical rollout. Timothee has also been nominated in the category of Best Actor at Academy Awards 2026 for his performance in the film Marty Supreme.

Interesting strategy. China is a huge market, but I wonder if the film's themes will resonate the same way there. Still, nine Oscar noms is no joke! 🎬 Wishing the team all the best. Hope it inspires our Indian studios to aim for both critical acclaim and global distribution.

Honestly, I'm a bit tired of the non-stop hype for every Hollywood film. We have brilliant sports dramas made in India—'Dangal', 'Chak De India'—that tell our own stories powerfully. Global recognition is good, but let's not forget our own cinematic gems.

As someone who loved 'Dune', I'm really looking forward to this! Timothee Chalamet is a generational talent. It's smart to leverage his existing fanbase in China. The business side of global cinema is fascinating. Hope it comes to Indian theatres soon!

Good for him and the team. A24 produces such unique content. But I do hope the Chinese release doesn't lead to any creative cuts or edits to the original film. Artistic integrity is important. Fingers crossed for the Oscars! 🤞

The article mentions it's A24's biggest hit. That's impressive! It shows there's a worldwide appetite for well-made indie films, not just big studio superhero movies. Maybe Indian indie filmmakers can also look at such international partnerships.
