A24 is a cool company, but I worry lately as they are making bigger budget films without wider appeal. Beau is Afraid was a major disaster, much less appealing than Everything Everywhere ever was. I also find it interesting that the perception of Civil War was that it was a hit, something a friend actually repeated to me just today. With a $50M budget, it's take of just over $100M in box office, at best, made it break even. Of course it made more money on video, streaming deals, etc... but for a $50M bet they will make maybe $20M-$40M in profit... that's not great. To bigger studios that would be their worst numbers, not their best. I personally worry that their investors pushing them toward these bigger budget bets to try to get rich will ruin the company, just like the legacy companies have. A24 made a name by making smart bets on mid-budget movies other studios left behind to chase supposedly safer IP. We don't want A24 to be like these bigger companies... we want the smaller films that make a little bit of a money at a time, and the occasional breakout hit... because that's what is most missing from cinemas today.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Yeah that’s fair Civil War actually wasn’t that big of a hit, I think it did well on its first weekend though so that’s the perception people had of it. And yeah I think it’ll be a difficult road to go down for A24 if they try to grow into something larger, but at the same time if they fail, I’m sure someone else will occupy that space, maybe even a company like NEON

I think it’s great that they do take bigger bets with filmmakerz. I don’t think they’ll only do that (most studios need to take big bet swings because they’re so in debt) but if you have one original $100mil A24 film every once and awhile w an awesome, established filmmaker(z) you could get massive resultz.

I’m gonna correlate my take with the hip-hop music industry, specifically with Rawkus Records. They were a label that pushed the independent, “underground” sound of 90s/2000s boom-bap hip-hop. A lot like A24, Rawkus brought the realest, wholesome form of hip-hop to the mainstream, and did well for awhile bringing to light Eminem, Common, and Mos Def who have all also tapped into the Hollywood circuit. But their downfall came when trying to adjust to the rest of the other industry labels. I know this firsthand being an artist almost being signed to the label. It’s beautiful to see A24’s progression and I can only hope they don’t submit to the pitfalls of the mainstream Hollywood industry. Diversity of all trajectories is very much needed in all industries. Humans ain’t sheep. So there’s always room to please us eccentric folks.

The truth is, most producers/studios have been following a 100-year-old business model. A24 approached acquisitions and promotions in a way that should have been the norm 20 years ago. They should rightly be applauded for being the first major success to break from the model, but I'm almost not impressed.

@@GabrielCarusetta also, a lot of the giants saw streamers as an existential threat. A24 treated Netflix as an opportunity, and could put money into films knowing they could get a streaming deal - whearas the giants were still licking their wounds with the death of DVD and hesitant to fund risky films that wouldn't have a wide release or DVD to win back the budget. That big studio pride and arrogance served A24 well in its early days.

I think A24 should keep making indie movies because most major studios are afraid to make movies with real topics and situations people are going through intheir individual lives. I am a would-be filmmaker/screenwriter and a Gen-Xer from New Jersey and I am trying to start a film production company here and most of the screenplays I have written take place in New Jersey. And some of them tackle really serious issues and I think A24 would be a good go-to for these screenplays.

The private equity playbook is to borrow the most money it can and extract all value from the companies it buys out so it lets the companies go into debt and bankrupt. These ridiculous high valuations in the billions is set so the private equity firm can borrow money against it and never made to pay back. So if a VC or private equity gets it’s grubby hands on it, you can pretty much say goodbye to passion for filmmaking and it’s always going to be the least risky ventures…

How A24 took over Hollywood: by distributing incredible, challenging, and often times total gambles on films Hollywood would never touch. Films that aren’t safe. They put the art first, not the money. A movie made with a labor of love, will reflect that in the product. There’s a lot of artists doing art in Hollywood, but they’re outnumbered a hundred to one to creators working for a paycheck only.

Look, I get where you’re coming from, but A24 definitely has a recognizable aesthetic, and a big part of that is their use of certain color palettes. You’ve probably noticed(or not) the frequent use of pinks, purples, and neon tones; that’s no accident. Films like Spring Breakers, Waves, and Euphoria all use those colors heavily, creating that dreamlike or surreal vibe that’s become a signature look for them. While there are exceptions like Moonlight, most A24 films lean into this visual style. So yeah, they’ve got a known palette & raw visual style, and it’s a big part of what makes their films stand out. That’s why it’s clear they do have a “look,” even if the genres or stories differ. So, you’re actually incorrect here. A24 doesn’t have drastically different looks across all their film; they have a trademark, signature aesthetic. As a filmmaker headed to work with UTA, it’s a bit concerning to hear you say otherwise. Their films are definitely recognizable, and you can almost always tell when you’re watching an A24 production just by the visual style alone. Do more homework next time. This could have been a really informative video with great storytelling, by you; if your facts were based on more solid research, rather than just opinions.
