About tony movie
Tony is a 2026 A24 biographical film about Anthony Bourdain's early kitchen years in Provincetown, Massachusetts, the stretch later told in his 2000 memoir Kitchen Confidential. Wikipedia credits Matt Johnson as director and names Dominic Sessa as Bourdain, with Antonio Banderas, Emilia Jones, and Leo Woodall in the billed cast.
A24 distributed the 106-minute film. Deadline Hollywood dated A24's interest to August 12 2024, Banderas joining to April 23 2025, Jones and Woodall to May 15 2025, and filming wrap to August 12 2025. The Hollywood Reporter and Variety both dated the first trailer to May 5 2026. Wikipedia records a limited U.S. opening on August 7 2026 and a nationwide expansion on August 21. Rotten Tomatoes, fetched August 25 2026, shows a 94% Tomatometer from 192 reviews, a 93% Popcornmeter from 250+ verified ratings, and an R rating. Wikipedia lists box office of $7.2 million as of August 23 2026. The query also matches older films titled Tony. The 2026 spike lines up with this A24 release.
What the time series shows
The stored weekly series opens at 8 on August 28 2021 and spends four years in a 6-14 band, with brief lifts to 15 on July 22 2023 and 14 on December 9 2023, before 2026 breaks that floor on google search.
2026 prints 22 on May 9, then 23 on July 25, 30 on August 1, 45 on August 8, 62 on August 15, and 75 on August 22. Derived labels from this series: growth exploding, speed exponential, seasonality low, volatility low. The recent 30-day absolute change is 52 points (23 to 75) against a prior 30-day change of 10 points (13 on June 20 to 23), which is why speed reads exponential. Week-over-week percent-change standard deviation over the last 52 prints is about 20.38, inside the below-25 band for low volatility. The 30-day change of +226.09% clears the +100% exploding bar, and the latest 75 is the peak, so this is not a peaked label. The curve is a single 2026 rise rather than a repeating seasonal pattern.
