Last movie I saw was Everything Everywhere All At Once and my wife posed a good question:
How come every time there is a movie we want to see it is from them?
We aren't really paying attention, but most movies we have liked for the past few years has been from them. Probably the last five movies we saw in theaters were from them. What makes A24 so different?

A24 is a distribution company, so they’re tasked with finding and elevating a certain type of unique talent that can fill a perceived market need.
It makes a bit more sense when you put it that way. They’re not absurdly consistent at creating good films, they’re just absurdly consistent about finding them and fitting them into their brand (which I guess is probably easier?) They’re hitting it out of the park. I’m a huge fan of what they put out as well. I’m no film industry expert but I can’t think of a time before when casual movie fans know the name of, and have an affinity for, a distribution company.

Yes, they stay "on brand" and interesting in a market full of dreck...

Yeah their branding and marketing is really, well, remarkable. I’ve seen dozens of items in real life (as well as online ads) of fashion items or other products with their logo or derived from their brand. They really do a great job.

It works so well too! If I see a movie is from A24 I'll almost always give it a chance. I think because I associate Hereditary and Midsomer with them and those are my two favorite horror movies in recent years.

Midsommar, Hereditary, The Lighthouse were all fantastic. Now Hazbin's coming out next summer, so there's more to look out for from them.

i think theyre one of the only studios that are doing original ideas. I feel like every other movie studio is trying to chase nostalgia or just releasing movies of based off an existing IP

They’re a distributor not a production company
