A24’s banner year, highlighted by the runaway success of Gen Z horror breakout “Backrooms” and Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s lightning‑rod Elizabeth Holmes documentary “You Can See Everything,” has made the indie studio its most profitable ever.

Those titles and others have boosted A24 above $500 million at the domestic box office for the first time.

The company has just wrapped production on the movie adaptation of the popular video game “Elden Ring,” a $200 million action epic starring Kit Connor and directed by Alex Garland.

A24’s biggest swing to date, the film’s otherworldly setting fits a studio that is no longer a scrappy indie but not yet a merged or acquired corporate monolith.
