‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ Crosses $70M U.S., $103M Worldwide

This year’s arthouse breakout, Everything Everywhere All at Once has hit the $70M mark finally at the domestic box office with its global ticket sales now at $103M. The film from Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert crossed $100M a while ago.

The pic previously broke records as A24’s highest grossing ever, both on a worldwide (beating 2018’s Hereditary at $80M) and stateside (surpassing Uncut Gems‘ $50M) basis.

Everything Everywhere was in its 27th week of release at 28 locations and made $1,3K yesterday for a near $16K week.

A24, as we’ve mentioned, is definitely pushing this movie for awards season. In the martial arts fantasy movie, an aging Chinese immigrant (Michelle Yeoh) is swept up in an insane adventure, in which she alone can save the world by exploring other universes connecting with the lives she could have led. Stephanie Hsu plays her daughter, Ke Huy Quan from The Goonies plays her husband, and Jamie Lee Curtis the evil IRS agent.

In the wake of the success of Everything Everywhere All at Once, Universal hammered an exclusive five year pact with the directing duo the Daniels, and their producing partner Jonathan Wang.

Everything, which blasted off as the opening night film at this year’s SXSW, has been the middle meat of the weekend domestic box office throughout its current 12 weekend run: In an eased pandemic marketplace where tentpoles suck up the all oxygen, and there’s not as many wide releases, Everything‘s holdover power continues to spur foot traffic and buoy arthouses.

Deadline also heard that the Daniels and AGBO produced movie posted the most first-day EST revenue on Tuesday for an A24 title. The studio is expected to give Everything Everywhere All at Once an awards-season push this year.
