The films come to HBO and Max through A24’s exclusive multiyear pay-one output agreement announced in December, following the expiration of its deal with Showtime.
A thriller marking A24’s biggest-budget project to date, Civil War hit theaters in April after world premiering at SXSW, grossing over $122M worldwide as it ignited water cooler conversation. Set in a dystopian future America, the film follows a team of military-embedded journalists as they race against time to reach Washington D.C. before rebel factions descend upon the White House.
Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Sonoya Mizuno, and Nick Offerman starred, with Andrew Macdonald, Allon Reich, and Gregory Goodman producing.
In I Saw the TV Glow, Justice Smith plays Owen, a teenager who is just trying to make it through life in the suburbs when his classmate introduces him to a mysterious late-night TV show. The TV show, a vision of a supernatural world beneath their own, leads to cracks in Owen’s own view of reality.
Also starring Brigette Lundy-Paine, Ian Foreman, Helena Howard, Fred Durst and Danielle Deadwyle, pic is produced by Emma Stone, Dave McCary, Ali Herting, Sam Intili, and Sarah Winshall. The film hit theaters in May, after premiering at Sundance, and grossed just over $5M, even as it garnered positive reviews.
