2026 has been another banner year for A24. Following a strong 2025 slate of films, including everything from the Best Picture nominee Marty Supreme to Celine Song‘s summer blockbuster romance Materialists, the indie giant has landed one hit after another since the calendar flipped over, starting with its Charli XCX mockumentary <em>The Moment</em> and the U.S. release of its acclaimed queer dramedy Pillion with Harry Melling and Alexander Skarsgård. Things really began heating up in the Spring as Robert Pattinson and Zendaya‘s The Drama arrived in theaters, followed by the atomic bomb that was Kane Parsons‘ Backrooms, which became the highest-grossing film in company history with over $401 million worldwide. Most recently, Pattinson has found them another winner, leading the Chris Hansen thriller Primetime to the third-largest A24 box office debut ever with $19.2 million.
During such a hot streak, Alamo Drafthouse is forging a new partnership with A24 that aims to celebrate its legendary catalog of films built up over the years. Collider can exclusively announce the launch of the A24 Cinema Club, described as a “year-long films with benefits” series with monthly screenings of classics from the indie banner at the premier dining-and-drink movie chain. Each screening also includes a special ticket bundle with a menu themed around all things A24, plus one of Alamo’s exclusive new pint glasses for the monthly movie. First up on the menu is Ti West‘s horror prequel Pearl, which will come to most of the chain’s locations on November 22.
Pearl was released in 2022 as the second film in West’s X trilogy, telling the origins of its titular villain, played by Mia Goth, decades before murdering the group of young pornographers on her rural Texas farm. Set in 1918, it follows Pearl as an ambitious young woman dreaming of stardom like in the movies, but isolated on her family’s farmhouse where her ailing father and overbearing mother keep her hopes grounded and drive her to madness. Even if Pearl herself never became a star, Goth’s performance cemented her place as a horror scream queen while adding extra layers to the killer-to-be in what was widely hailed as an emotional and haunting tour de force. The eponymous aspiring actress gets her flowers with the Pearl pint glass, featuring art by Chris Bilheimer of her axe with the fields and farmhouse above it and Pearl herself in the midst of her intimate encounter with the scarecrow.
