Since then, they have released films like Srping Breakers, Room, Ex Machina, and The Witch and have entered into deals with companies like DirecTV Cinema, Amazon Prime and others.

A24 has been able to work with companies such as: Blumhouse Productions, Bleeker Street, Guggenheim Partners, and Annapurna Pictures.

Accused of being a scrappy film distribution company that could re-shape Hollywood:

A24 has established itself as the film industry’s most forward-thinking company by releasing the kind of midsized, stylish, quality films that seemed on the verge of going extinct, transforming them into a collective theatrical experience, and aiming them squarely at a demographic that would rather watch movies on their phones. It’s not remarkable that A24 had set such a goal—it’s remarkable that the company is accomplishing it. Source
