In the last decade, A24 has become one of the best-known movie studios in Hollywood.
A24 has eight dated movies and another 10 that are set to be released at some point in 2026.
"The Drama," "Mother Mary," and "The Moment" are some of the company's most anticipated releases.
When you think A24, you think of "Moonlight," "Lady Bird," "Everything Everywhere All at Once," "Marty Supreme," "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You," and "Hereditary."
In other words, you think of good movies.
Since its inception as an indie movie distributor in 2012, A24 has been synonymous with a certain type of film (you might call them "cool"). Over a decade later, with two best picture wins to its name, that still rings true.
It's shaping up to be a busy year for A24, which both produces films in-house and acquires films to distribute.
From a mockumentary starring Charli XCX to a Robert Pattinson/Zendaya team-up and an Anthony Bourdain biopic, here's what you can expect from A24 this year.
"The Moment" — January 30"The Moment."
