10 years ago, most people had never heard of A24, but now it’s one of the most prominent movie studios in Hollywood. A24 has what every other studio could only hope for, which is a distinct identity. A24 may not be consistently producing billion-dollar blockbusters year after year, but the studio is almost always in contention with a few movies when Awards season comes around. The studio also works with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood — just this weekend, A24 will work with Twisters and Top Gun: Maverick star Glen Powell for How to Make a Killing, the thriller from John Patton Ford that also stars Margaret Qualley. A24 also has The Drama coming out soon. The film stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson.
However, as with any studio, A24 has some misses every year. Last year, one of its biggest misfires — both critically and financially — was Eddington. The contemporary Western is set in May 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and follows a standoff between a small-town sheriff and a mayor that sparks a powder keg, pitting neighbor against neighbor. The film was written and directed by Ari Aster, and it stars Pedro Pascal alongside Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone. A24 spent $25 million on the production of Eddington, but the film grossed only $13 million at the box office. However, Eddington is streaming on HBO Max around the world, where the film has landed in the global top 10 in more than 15 countries. The film has finally found its audience despite a poor box office performance.
What Else is Streaming on HBO Max Right Now?
One of the most popular movies on HBO Max right now is M3GAN 2.0, the sci-fi bomb that performed so poorly it caused its sequel to be pulled from the release schedule. 28 Years Later, the 2025 legacy sequel to Cillian Murphy’s horror classic that inspired a franchise. Months after its HBO premiere, James Gunn’s Superman is also staging a streaming comeback on HBO — it’s currently #8 on the streamer’s global charts. Over on the TV side of things, HBO is living up to its mantra as the premier home for prestige TV. Both A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and The Pitt have been trading places in the top spot for a few weeks now.
Be sure to watch Eddington on HBO Max and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates.
