It benefited enormously from a gradual begin on the field workplace in 2024, with little or no direct competitors in the best way at first. As a result of the movie was comparatively costly with a large advertising marketing campaign, it nonetheless has a technique to go earlier than reaching profitability from its theatrical run alone. That stated, the film has held fairly nicely week-to-week and it nonetheless has some fuel within the tank.

All due respect to Kirsten Dunst, however it is a film that has discovered its viewers with none large A-list film stars, and and not using a franchise hook. In a yr the place issues have seemed fairly grim on the theatrical aspect of the film enterprise, it is good to see an authentic story that does not pull any punches doing significant numbers. If it might probably proceed to leg out and discover an viewers within the markets it has left to open, it has an outdoor shot at changing into A24’s greatest film ever. That might be spectacular.
It is essential because the studio, regardless of its status, has not had all that many large hits, save for just a few breakouts like final yr’s “Speak to Me.” Extra usually, A24 has confronted disappointments similar to 2018’s “Beneath the Silver Lake,” which is why the studio is attempting to make extra audience-friendly bets whereas staying true to its ideas. Thus far, that appears to be working. Fingers crossed for extra of the identical within the coming months/years.
