Everything Everywhere All At Once Is Now A24’s Biggest Global Movie
After becoming A24's highest-grossing film domestically, Everything Everywhere All at Once is now the studio's highest-grossing movie worldwide. The film starring the veteran actor and action star Michelle Yeoh initially grossed over $500,000 on a mere ten screens in NYC, LA and San Francisco when it began its limited release in March. Eventually, the modestly budgeted $25 million film expanded to over 2200 screens across the US, and has remained in the top 10 weekend after weekend domestically. The idiosyncratic, critically praised movie showed signs of being a genuine word-of-mouth hit, causing many to believe it could rival the grosses of A24 movies like Uncut Gems and Lady Bird.
Now, per Deadline, Everything Everywhere All at Once has officially overtaken A24 horror movie Hereditary as their highest-grossing movie ever worldwide, grossing $80.9M to the former record-holder's $80.2M. Additionally, the film has yet to open in key territories, including all of Latin America, France, Italy, and Japan, where it will undoubtedly add to its impressive box-office earnings. As of this moment, the film is still showing in over 1,000 theaters in North America, even after being released on VOD June 7. The predicted final earnings domestically for the genre-bending fan-favorite film is $70M.
A24 is known for producing high-profile, award-winning films such as Denzel Washington's The Tragedy of Macbeth and Best Picture-winner Moonlight, among many others. It should come as no surprise, then, that the studio is poised to plan an awards-season push for Everything Everywhere All at Once this year, which could even see it return to theaters temporarily. Even if it doesn't make an Oscars splash, however, the extent to which the multiverse movie has been embraced by audiences is an encouraging sign that theatrical moviegoing is emerging from the pandemic era for more than just tentpole blockbusters.
