Everything Everywhere All at Once has enjoyed some of the best reviews of the year and a very successful platform release that shows that the indie studio, A24, knows exactly how to unveil its unique material. After several weeks of impressive box office numbers, the film is now officially A24’s highest-grossing release in the U.S. ever.
With a current running domestic total of $53.3 million, Everything Everywhere All at Once dethrones Uncut Gems to take the A24 crown, per Box Office Mojo. The critically lauded Adam Sandler release ended its run at $50 million at the domestic box office. Worldwide, the multi-dimensional martial arts film has taken in $62.4 million and it still has a shot at taking A24’s global bragging rights as well. Globally, Hereditary is their highest-grossing film at $80 million worldwide but Everything Everywhere All at Once still has more international markets to open in. As the film has already shown, anything can happen.
A24 had a great release strategy for the movie that really paid off. The indie studio unveiled this project slowly and let it build word of mouth weekend to weekend without jumping the gun on a wide release out the gate. There is something to be said about a platform release, which is typically done during Oscar season for smaller films or for movies with some pretty out there premises. It allows the momentum to build slowly but steadily.
In the film, Michelle Yeoh stars as a Chinese-American woman being audited by the Internal Revenue Service who discovers that she must connect with parallel universe versions of herself to prevent a powerful being from causing the destruction of the multiverse. The film also stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan, Jenny Slate, Harry Shum Jr., and James Hong.
