We Live In Time has crossed an important box office milestone, putting it among a coveted group. Featuring two former Oscar nominees, We Live in Time stars Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh as an eventual couple who get together after an unexpected meeting. The film then shows the duo's relationship over the course of years, as difficult life circumstances test their relationship. We Live in Time has gotten positive reviews so far, as it remains liked by both critics and audiences.
Per Collider, We Live in Time's box office has now allowed it to cross into a new record. With its current box office standings, We Live in Time has become one of A24's top 15 highest-grossing films at the domestic box office. This record comes after the film earned another $3.5 million during its fourth full weekend in theaters. With this total, it went from A24's 20th highest-grossing film of all time to its 15th, passing hits such as Spring Breakers, Room, MaXXXine, The Green Knight, and The Whale. The next film to beat is The Farewell.
In order to achieve this feat, We Live in Time has made over $17 million domestically. This is a big deal for the movie, as it means it is getting a huge amount of exposure during the time of its release. The performances of both leads have been hyped up in reviews, leading to Oscar buzz for the film. The film's box office success will help it gain more momentum as the awards season grows closer, bettering the two actors' chances to score nominations.
Box office success for A24 movies is also historically indicative of Oscar recognition. While this is not ubiquitously true, 3 of the top 15 highest-grossing A24 movies have gone on to be nominated for Best Picture. Two of these — Everything Everywhere All At Once and Moonlight —went on to win Best Picture. This represents a fairly high success rate for A24, making We Live in Time's Oscar hopes even more likely.
Not only is this good for We Live in Time's Oscar chances, but it represents the continuation of an incredibly successful year for A24. Of the current top 20 highest-grossing A24 films, three have come this year. This spring's well-rated Civil War, for example, set multiple records and became A24's second-highest-grossing movie in the distributor's history. The success of these films, along with MaXXXine, shows that A24's reign over indie film is not ending any time soon, and, in fact, is gaining momentum as the years pass.
