Overview
- Chalamet and director Josh Safdie presented Marty Supreme at Le Grand Rex on Feb. 3, spending time signing autographs and taking selfies with an enthusiastic crowd.
- On stage, Chalamet acknowledged the controversy over ticket costs, saying in French that he does not touch the money and that he wished the event were free.
- Le Grand Rex charged roughly €50 for the orchestra, €25 for mezzanine and €18 for balcony seats, and the venue said nearly 1,700 tickets sold out in under an hour.
- Grand Rex director Alexandre Hellmann defended the pricing as a loss-making “prestige” event that immobilizes the auditorium and involves splitting box-office revenue with the distributor, adding such pricing could continue based on demand.
- Promotion in Paris expanded with a same-day Marty Supreme pop-up at MK2 Bibliothèque for the viral jackets made with designer Doni Nahmias, as the film heads toward a Feb. 18 release with awards-season buzz reported by outlets.
