Founded in 2012 by Daniel Katz, David Fenkel, and John Hodges, and operating with approximately 420 employees, the company specializes in content rights. Functioning as an independent entertainment entity, it shifted from an initial focus on film distribution to an all-encompassing financing, development, and production model. The studio produces and distributes projects such as Moonlight, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Hereditary, Uncut Gems, and the television series Euphoria and Beef. Its library has been recognized with Academy Awards for fostering creator-driven storytelling and expanding into broader, commercial genres and intellectual properties.
On August 27, 2026, HBO Max announced its September lineup, confirming A24’s "Backrooms" will begin streaming on September 25 as part of an exclusive deal. This news coincides with reports that the Imagine Cinemas Carlton multiplex in downtown Toronto lost the new Matt Johnson-directed Anthony Bourdain film, "Tony," after A24 withdrew it, with the theatre's management highlighting "unfair" zoning practices. Previously, on August 26, "Backrooms," A24's highest-grossing film, was confirmed to become streamable on September 25, following a delay to maximize its lucrative theatrical sales. A24 originally announced on August 25 that "Backrooms" would make its exclusive U.S. streaming debut on HBO Max on September 25, with an HBO linear debut set for September 26 at 8:00 p.m. ET. The initial withdrawal of "Tony" from Imagine Cinemas Carlton on August 21 was reportedly due to A24's claims regarding "antiquated 'clearing' practices."
