The Invite Sets Aug. 11 Digital Release After $40.1 Million Worldwide Box Office Run

Summary
Aug. 11 is when The Invite will hit digital rental and purchase platforms, 46 days after its June 26 limited debut and 32 days after its July 10 wide release.
The move follows an unexpectedly strong theatrical run: Olivia Wilde’s Sundance breakout has grossed $22.8 million domestically and $40.1 million worldwide for A24.
A24 paid $12 million for distribution rights after a bidding war involving Netflix, Apple TV, Focus Features, Neon, Black Bear, Sony and Searchlight; Wilde chose the studio because it guaranteed a theatrical release.
The film has paired a 97% Rotten Tomatoes score with strong audience response—90% of opening-weekend viewers recommended seeing it in theaters—and drew a notably young crowd, with 25% under 25.
No HBO Max date has been announced, but the digital rollout extends one of the post-pandemic box office’s rare non-horror indie breakouts.
