Overview
- The A24 release grossed about $875,000 from six New York and Los Angeles theaters, breaking into the weekend top 10 on a tiny footprint.
- Its roughly $145,900 per‑screen average led 2025, set an A24 record and marked the strongest platform PSA since La La Land in 2016.
- Critical notices remain strong with an approximate 95% Rotten Tomatoes score as awards-season buzz builds.
- A Gen Z‑focused campaign — from an orange blimp to a ping‑pong‑ball takeover of the Las Vegas Sphere and dozens of surprise theater drop‑ins — is fueling demand for a reported ~$70 million A24 bet.
- Chalamet’s assertive press‑tour comments have drawn a polarized response, and he says the tone is intentional to match the film’s go‑for‑broke spirit.
