A24 Achieves Box Office Success with Club Kid and You Can See Everything

Independent studio A24 continues to make waves across the North American box office with a strong specialty market performance from its latest dramedy release, Club Kid, alongside the sustained financial success of the documentary feature You Can See Everything. Directed by Jordan Firstman, Club Kid opened on six screens in New York and Los Angeles, grossing an impressive $390,583 during its opening weekend.

The film earned a per-screen average of $65,097, securing its place among the top all-time debut per-screen averages and contributing to a record-breaking year for A24 on the charts. Club Kid stars Firstman as Peter, a party promoter who unexpectedly discovers he has a ten-year-old son, played by Reggie Absolom. The feature also features performances from Cara Delevingne, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Diego Calva, and Colleen Camp, and holds a perfect Certified Fresh score of 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes ahead of its wide Thanksgiving expansion.

Meanwhile, the Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim-directed documentary You Can See Everything has neared the $80 million mark at the domestic box office. The intimate look at Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes has bypassed the lifetime domestic haul of Everything Everywhere All at Once to become A24's third-highest-grossing release in North America, sitting behind the summer blockbuster Backrooms and Marty Supreme.

Operating on a modest budget of $7 million, You Can See Everything has quickly proven to be exceptionally profitable for the studio. The documentary also surpassed March of the Penguins to become the second-highest-grossing documentary in North America, trailing only Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11.

The cultural footprint of A24's recent slate extended to late-night television, where internet personality and comedian Druski hosted Saturday Night Live and starred in a pre-taped parody of You Can See Everything. Portraying a skeptical director alongside cast members Jane Wickline and Ben Marshall as Elizabeth Holmes and Billy Evans, the sketch brought mainstream attention to the documentary's unique filmmaking style.

As A24 looks toward the remainder of the year, the studio prepares for additional theatrical expansions and releases, including the Jesse Eisenberg-directed community theater comedy The Debut, slated for December. With critical acclaim bolstering its specialty releases and robust box office returns from its documentary lineup, A24 maintains a strong position in the theatrical marketplace.
