Robin Hood has been a cinema hero since the silent film days, but in the new movie by writer/director Michael Sarnoski ( Pig, A Quiet Place), the legends of his heroism have been greatly exaggerated.

Marty Supreme, the ambitious table tennis thriller starring Timothee Chalamet, will eventually head to streaming services. For now, the Oscar hopeful is only available in theatersand if you want to see outlandish scenes like Mr. Wonderful spanking the young star's behind with a ping-pong paddle, I can only suggest viewing Marty Supreme on the largest screen possible.

"The menu will go down until Saturday, when we have a tasting," Hanson said.

A24's model does not rely on that kind of mass appeal. When the studio was first starting out, a lot of the films that they picked up were things that other studios or distributors had dropped or shied away from.

In addition, A24 does brisk sales in merch (sweatshirts, dog leashes), and hosts a fan club with roughly a hundred thousand paying members. Some acolytes have even gotten tattoos of the studio's logo.
