A24’s $100 Million Box Office Hits: Ranked From Least to Most Impressive
A24’s indie films rarely break the bank, but a select few have shattered expectations and soared past $100 million at the box office. Discover which movies made the cut and how they defied the odds to become major hits.
While A24 has built its reputation on bold, independent cinema, every so often, one of its films breaks through and becomes a box office sensation. In a landscape dominated by billion-dollar franchises, these movies stand out not just for their earnings, but for how they achieved success on modest budgets and with original storytelling.
4. Civil War
Set in a fractured America, Civil War follows a team of journalists as they journey across a country torn apart by conflict. Their mission: reach the President before rebel forces topple his regime. Along the way, they witness the brutal realities of war and the collapse of society. The film never reveals the cause of the conflict, instead focusing on the chaos and the role of journalism in times of crisis. With Kirsten Dunst leading the cast, the movie ’s unflinching look at violence and humanity’s darker side resonated with audiences, earning $127 million worldwide despite its heavy subject matter.
3. Materialists
Directed by Celine Song, Materialists dives into the complexities of modern romance in New York City. The story centers on a love triangle involving characters played by Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal. The film challenges viewers to reflect on how love and relationships have been shaped—and sometimes tainted—by money and societal pressures. Released in 2025, Materialists pulled in $107 million at the global box office, cementing its place among A24’s top earners.
2. Marty Supreme
Marty Supreme tells the story of Marty Reisman, with Timothée Chalamet taking on the role of the brash, ambitious lead. The film’s success was fueled in part by Chalamet’s energetic promotion, helping it reach $102.3 million worldwide, including $80.8 million in the U.S. alone. The performance has already earned Chalamet two major awards and positioned him as a strong contender for Best Actor at the Oscars.
1. Everything Everywhere All at Once
In 2022, Everything Everywhere All at Once took audiences by storm. Starring Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan, the film follows a woman who discovers the multiverse and must harness the abilities of her alternate selves to save reality. Balancing family drama, existential threats, and wild creativity, the movie became A24’s highest-grossing release, raking in $142 million worldwide.
