A24 releases Jordan Firstman’s Cannes title “Club Kid” in limited run on Nov. 6

Jordan Firstman’s feature directorial debut, which premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes and was acquired by A24, will hit theaters on Nov. 6 in a limited release.

A24 will bring Jordan Firstman’s directorial debut, “Club Kid,” to theaters on Nov. 6 in a limited release, according to Deadline. The film comes after it premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes and drew early industry attention ahead of awards season.

Deadline reports that A24 acquired global rights to “Club Kid” following its Cannes presentation. The acquisition positions the distributor to market the film as the fall exhibition calendar lines up, including a weekend that already features major awards-season activity from A24.

The Nov. 6 release date places “Club Kid” on the same weekend where A24 previously launched Greta Gerwig’s “Lady Bird,” Deadline notes. That scheduling detail ties “Club Kid” to a distributor timeline that has historically been associated with awards campaigns for prestige films.

“Club Kid” is described by Deadline as Jordan Firstman’s debut feature, with the Cannes premiere serving as the international launch point. The Un Certain Regard slot provided the film its public festival platform and helped frame the film’s entry into the broader release pipeline.

Deadline also frames the release as part of A24’s ongoing strategy of building awards-season visibility through international festival debuts and targeted theatrical distribution. For exhibitors and audiences, the plan means a limited theatrical window timed to reach voters and critics as the awards calendar moves into late fall.

A24’s next steps for the film, according to the release timing reported by Deadline, will center on distribution execution for the Nov. 6 limited opening, including how the film is rolled out to theaters and supported through the customary industry channels that follow a Cannes-backed acquisition.

Why It Matters

  • The Nov. 6 limited release date places the film within the late-fall awards-season window when critics and industry voters are gearing up for campaigns.
  • A Cannes Un Certain Regard premiere and an A24 global rights acquisition can shape distribution scale and the resources devoted to marketing the film to prestige audiences.
  • The scheduling overlap with A24’s prior “Lady Bird” launch highlights how distributors sometimes tie multiple prestige titles to the same key exhibition weekend.
  • A24’s acquisition and planned theatrical roll-out determine how the film will reach viewers beyond festivals, affecting box office exposure and industry attention during the awards cycle.
