A24’s $100 Million Club: Indie Hits Ranked From Worst To Best

While A24 has built its reputation on offbeat, low-budget productions, every so often one of their films manages to punch well above its weight at the box office. In a landscape dominated by billion-dollar franchises, these rare successes are all the more impressive given their modest origins and refusal to follow the usual Hollywood playbook.

Let’s take a look at the four A24 releases that have managed to rake in over $100 million worldwide, and see what set them apart from the rest.

4. Civil War

Set in a fractured United States, Civil War follows a group of journalists as they travel through a country torn apart by conflict. Their mission is to reach the President before rebel forces topple him, but along the way, they’re confronted with the brutal realities of war. The film doesn’t bother explaining the origins of the conflict, instead focusing on the chaos and the human cost. It’s a stark anti-war piece, highlighting the role of journalism and the speed at which society can unravel.

Despite its heavy subject matter, Civil War managed to pull in $127 million globally. Not bad for a film that’s more about provoking thought than providing spectacle.

3. Materialists

Materialists, directed by Celine Song, dives into the world of modern dating in New York City. The story centres on a love triangle involving characters played by Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal. The film takes a hard look at how romance has been shaped by money and social pressures, asking whether we’ve lost sight of what love really means.

Released in 2025, Materialists earned $107 million at the box office. If you’re keen on this one, you might want to check out Song’s earlier work, Past Lives.

2. Marty Supreme

With $102.3 million in global takings, Marty Supreme owes much of its success to Timothée Chalamet’s full-on promo campaign. The film, loosely inspired by the life of table tennis legend Marty Reisman, sees Chalamet playing a cocky, ambitious lead. His performance has already netted him two major awards and put him in the running for an Oscar.

Most of the film’s earnings came from the US, but its appeal has clearly travelled further afield.

1. Everything Everywhere All at Once

When Everything Everywhere All at Once hit screens in 2022, it took everyone by surprise. Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan star as a couple whose lives are upended when Yeoh’s character discovers the multiverse. She must draw on the skills of her alternate selves to face a threat that could destroy everything, all while juggling a failing business and family drama.

This wild, genre-bending ride became A24’s top earner, pulling in $142 million worldwide. It’s proof that audiences are still hungry for films that take risks and don’t just follow the crowd.
