A24 has established itself as a major Hollywood force through a series of commercially successful films directed by Alex Garland, including Civil War, Marty Supreme, and Backrooms—all of which grossed over $100 million worldwide. The studio is now producing Elden Ring, a video game adaptation that executives expect to approach or exceed $500 million in global box office revenue, marking the studio's most expensive project to date.

Ex Machina, the 2015 science fiction film starring Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, and Alicia Vikander, is the film that established Garland and A24's creative partnership and is considered the director's most acclaimed work for the studio. The film was both a critical and commercial success, earning over $35 million worldwide on a $15 million budget. It is now available to stream for free, allowing audiences to revisit the film that marked the beginning of one of contemporary cinema's most prolific creative partnerships.
