A24is known for bringing lots of great movies, but this year hasn’t been the most solid. On the one hand, some of their more recent movies have been well-received.Materialistshas gotten great reviews, for example, and is doing well at the box office for the romance genre.
On the other hand, however, there have been movies likeOpus,which did poorly critically and commercially. Despite starring Ayo Edebiri, who is known for the hit television showThe Bear, the film only made $2 million worldwide and was poorly received by critics.
Additionally,the studio was met with another disappointment later in March.It wasDeath of a Unicorn, which made only $16.4 million worldwide. LikeOpus, it had a strong cast, but still could not have a big impact, especially sinceDeath of a Unicornreceived mixed reviews.
Despite a few hiccups,May saw the release of a highly anticipated A24 horror moviethat restored the company’s reputation in terms of reviews but faltered more significantly in terms of the box office.

What This Means For Bring Her Back
Could It Make A Comeback?
Despite its positive reviews and the hype surrounding its directors,Bring Her Backwas not the box office sensation that A24 hoped for.It made only $22.6 million worldwide, paling in comparison to the Philippous' debut feature,Talk to Me, which made $91.9 million.
