Everything Everywhere All At Once breaks A24 domestic box office record

It’s official: Everything Everywhere All at Once has become the highest-grossing film from studio A24 at the domestic box office. Per Deadline, the movie began its ninth weekend in theaters to a haul of $49.1 million, unseating the Oscar-nominated Lady Bird from second place in the studio’s domestic roster. Everything Everywhere All at Once is estimated to have made another $2-$3 million over the weekend, which means it will also surpass Uncut Gems, the current A24 domestic gross record holder at $50 million.

It’s a huge win for arthouse films during a time when movie theaters are dominated by superhero movies and blockbuster franchises. Everything Everywhere All at Once stars Michelle Yeoh as a disillusioned laundromat owner who is pulled into a multiversal adventure. Yeoh and costar Stephanie Hsu (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) turn in amazing performances as multiple versions of their characters across this wide, outrageously entertaining multiverse. No other movie features the mating dance of humans with hot dogs for fingers and a fight scene that revolves around butt plugs; this thing is a force of nature.

Everything Everywhere All at Once is still a ways away from overtaking A24’s highest global hit, 2018’s Hereditary. That one took in $80 million globally, but only $44 million at the domestic box office.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness continues to dominate the box office

Here are the top ten movies for this weekend’s domestic box office:

1. Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness — $31 million
2. Downton Abbey: A New Era — $16 million
3. The Bad Guys — $6 million
4. Sonic The Hedgehog 2 — $3.9 million
5. Men — $3.2 million
6. Everything Everywhere All At Once — $3.1 million
7. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore — under $2 million
8. Firestarter — under $2 million
