Oscars: ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ is an Early Best Picture Contender

April 30, 2022 Jordan Ruimy

We haven’t spoken much here about “Everything, Everywhere All at Once,” but its performance at the domestic box-office cannot be ignored.

It grossed another $1.5 million on Friday, its sixth week of release, for a cumulative totak of $31.5 million. It’s almost assured to crack the $40 million mark by Tuesday or Wednesday.

This is a major post-pandemic win for A24, and, by this coming week, it’ll likely become the arthouse boutique studio’s third highest-grosser of all-time, surpassing “Hereditary” ($44 million). It is not inconceivable to believe that it could unseat “Lady Bird” ($49 million) and “Uncut Gems” ($50 million) for A24’s top spot.

This is an R-rated genre picture starring mostly unknowns, unless you count Michelle Yeo as someone who is a box-office draw (she’s not). What we have here is a word-of-mouth sensation, drawing positive reviews from critics and excellent audience scores — an 8.8 on IMDB is an astounding achievement, not to mention it’s also the highest-rated movie of all-time on Letterboxd.

Jesus. A huge win for A24, but also for SXSW which nabbed the world premiere in March after the film’s directors —Daniel Kwan and Daniel Schoenberg— refused a Sundance invite due to that fest’s virtual component.

What we have here folks is our first Best Picture contender for next year’s Oscars.
