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 The Moment 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.

What Other Films Will Be Part of the A24 Cinema Club?

Bilheimer is also behind the art of the pint glass for the A24 Cinema Club's December film, Red Rocket. Sean Baker's portrait of a retired porn star is commemorated with a giant donut on the drinkware, similar to the one cleverly covering Simon Rex's nether region on the official poster. Tickets will go on sale for that film in November, while in December, moviegoers can secure their seats and packages for The Green Knight, the Dev Patel-led dark fantasy, which will be January's title. Artist Kat Schober created the appropriately viney design for that glass. While designs haven't been revealed for their collectibles, Best Picture winners Moonlight and Everything Everywhere All At Once are locked in as the February and March movies.

As for the menu, Alamo has unveiled a few of the items filmgoers can dig into during the run of the club. These range from the Eddington Margarita to Everything Popcorn All At Once, Lady Bird Loaded Fries, The Florida Project Mahi Mahi Sandwich, and the Green Knight Shake. Between the food and the glasses, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema's Chief Marketing Officer Chaya Rosenthal feels they've crafted a thoughtful, exclusive celebration of the indie banner that's become a household name through this partnership.

"Pint glass designs for the A24 Cinema Club line are truly limited editions, only available at these Alamo Drafthouse shows and nowhere else. It’s everything, everywhere, once a month. I geek out over A24 films just as much as our guests do, and getting to build merch this thoughtful and specific is one of the best parts of my job. A24 makes the kind of movies Alamo was built for. This collection is how we celebrate that together.”

The A24 Cinema Club launches at Alamo Drafthouse theaters with Pearl on November 22 in most locations. Tickets with the exclusive pint glass are on sale now at the official Alamo Drafthouse website. Get a look at the new glasses in the gallery above.
