The NY Post piece gathers praise from Bourdain’s friends and colleagues about the new A24 biopic Tony, which focuses on his early, pre-fame years and the real person behind the celebrity. They commend the portrayal of his complex, bluntly honest persona, recall his writing breakthrough, and acknowledge the film’s place alongside other Bourdain works in shaping his enduring legacy after his 2018 death.
A24’s Anthony Bourdain biopic Tony led this weekend’s indie box office with about $349,000 across six theaters (New York and Los Angeles), a $58,000-per-screen average and sold-out shows. The film expands to top markets next week ahead of a nationwide rollout on Aug. 21; Dominic Sessa stars as a young Bourdain to strong notices (Rotten Tomatoes Certified Fresh 95%). The ensemble includes Emilia Jones, Stavros Halkias, Leo Woodall and Antonio Banderas as a mentor. Other specialty titles like CatVideoFest 2026 and Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma also performed well in the indie weekend, with Cookie Queens debuting notably in limited venues.
