July has been a great month for independent cinema. Everything Everywhere All at Once, A24’s unprecedented phenomenon, has just become the first movie from the independent entertainment company to cross the $100 million mark at the global box office.
The martial arts meets multiverse spectacle directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert was first released in theaters in March. Only two months later, it had already passed the Safdie brothers’ Uncut Gems as A24’s highest domestic grosser. In June, it took over Ari Aster’s 2018 horror film Hereditary to become the company’s biggest ever global hit. But the records didn’t stop there.
