Since Daniels' Everything Everywhere All At Once debuted in theaters in March 2022, the multiverse adventure has made a remarkable breakthrough at the box office and has become A24's all-time highest-grossing movie.

The science fiction movie has received extremely constructive reviews and is currently nominated for multiple accolades at the 2023 Oscars. Something that's also noteworthy is the film's box office performance, which demonstrates the audience's continued desire for creative low-budget dramas.

Everything Everywhere All at Once surpassed A24's previous box office record, surpassing 2018's Hereditary with a domestic gross of $72 million, more than double its $25 million budget. The film made nearly $106 million globally.

Although it took several months to achieve the traditional break-even goal of earning more than double its production costs, the sci-fi drama's early performance was exceptionally impressive. The movie peaked in May 2022, nearly two months after its theatrical launch, grossing $5.3 million, bringing its domestic total to $35.2 million.

A24 previously had Adam Sandler-starrer Uncut Gems, a suspenseful drama, as its highest-grossing North American release with $50 million, and Ari Aster's Hereditary, a psychological thriller, on the international end with $79 million. Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird with $78 million worldwide and Oscar-winner Moonlight with $65 million are two other top A24 films that have performed well at the box office.

In addition to earning more than four times its $25 million budget at the international box office by the time its 11 Oscar nominations were revealed, the movie recently returned to theaters ahead of the 95th Academy Awards, which will only increase its box office profits.
