A24's *Primetime* with Robert Pattinson opens to $19.2M, becomes third-biggest A24 opening
The true-crime thriller starring Robert Pattinson as a *Dateline*-style host opened domestically from 2,863 theaters, ranking #4 overall. Exit polls show 75% of audiences cited Pattinson as the top reason; 69% were under 30. It's A24's third-largest opening behind *Backrooms* and *Civil War*.
TLDR
The film demonstrates Pattinson's continued commercial draw post-The Drama, and its low ~$15M budget relative to strong word-of-mouth positions it for profitability and potential awards contention. Trailer circulation and social media memes amplify momentum in a crowded market. YouTube showed it as A24's most-watched trailer.
