Fenkel’s New York-based independent film and TV powerhouse, which he runs with Daniel Katz, has been the focus of acquisition rumors for years. While a deal hasn’t come to fruition, they kept whettin’ appetites with buzz-generating successes like mind-bending sci-fi comedy “Everything Everywhere All at Once” from Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, aka Daniels, which grossed $70 million domestically and over $100 million worldwide. On the TV side, A24 scored six Emmys for season 2 of HBO’s “Euphoria.” The 10-year-old company, known for its quirky, ever-changing, pre-credit animated logos, earned praise from horror fans for Ti West’s slashers “X” and “Pearl,” which both starred Mia Goth, and gene­rated awards heat with Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale,” starring Brendan Fraser; Joanna Hogg’s “The Eternal Daughter,” with Tilda Swinton; and Elegance Bratton’s “The Inspection.”
