Materialists marks the beginning of a bold run for distributor A24, a company which is aiming to step into the bigger game this year. The romantic drama, packed with star power like Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, has managed a solid theatrical performance so far.
While the genre hasn’t exactly seen a consistent streak lately, this one is holding its ground and climbing steadily. It’s already on track to surpass Celine Song’s Past Lives and should easily wrap up with more than $50 million worldwide.
The New York based entertainment company has already tasted success. Last year, titles like Heretic, Babygirl, and We Live in Time each crossed the $60 million mark, but Materialists stands apart. The movie has only a production budget of $20m, but its success story will lay down tracks for bigger titles like The Smashing Machine with Dwayne Johnson and Marty Supreme featuring Timothée Chalamet.
