A24 Drops First Trailer for Jordan Firstman’s Cannes Hit Club Kid

A24’s trailer launch signals an awards-season push by confirming festival bookings with a November 6 limited release.

Overview

  • The distributor released the first trailer on Wednesday, Aug. 19, making footage public and formally confirming TIFF and New York Film Festival bookings plus a U.S. limited release starting November 6.
  • Club Kid premiered in CannesUn Certain Regard in May to lavish reviews and a long standing ovation, which triggered a competitive bidding round that A24 reportedly won for about $17 million.
  • Jordan Firstman wrote, directed and stars in the film as Peter, a hard-partying New York club promoter whose life changes when a 10-year-old boy he did not know appears in his care.
  • The ensemble cast includes Reggie Absolom, Cara Delevingne, Diego Calva and Kirby Howell-Baptiste, and the film was produced by Alex Coco, Galen Core, Ryan Heller and Michael Bloom with financing from Topic Studios and Stay Gold.
  • A24 plans a fall festival and awards push that will feature the cast on the promo circuit and a wider theatrical rollout after the November limited opening, steps that aim to build both box-office momentum and awards visibility.
