Everything Everywhere All At Once grossed over half a million dollars on 10 screens in NYC, LA and San Francisco for a hefty $50,965 per-screen-average — a number rarely seen since the pre-Covid old days of theatrical releases and the biggest of the year so far.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorIt’s been two decades since Ke Huy Quan has been on the big screen.He’s known to most audiences as a child actor playing Data in “The Goonies” and Short Round in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”; his last widely released film in the U.S. was 1992’s “Encino Man.” He stepped away from acting after 2002 because he felt there weren’t many opportunities for Asian performers.But with the “phenomenal success” of “Crazy Rich Asians” in 2018, “I had serious FOMO,” Quan says.

A24’s SXSW opener Everything Everywhere All At Once, Bleecker Street’s Infinite Storm and Sony Pictures Classics’ Mothering Sunday offer something that’s been rare of late at the specialty box office, fresh content and choice.

In The Daniels’ visionary sophomore feature, “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” Michelle Yeoh plays Evelyn Wang, a woman of a certain age struggling with keeping her laundromat business afloat. But Evelyn is also a pop superstar, a movie star, a hibachi chef, a Kung Fu master, and much more.

“Everything Everywhere All at Once” is your standard multiverse martial arts movie about filing your taxes and midlife regret in which googly eyes, everything bagels and fanny packs play vital supporting roles and portals to parallel existences are opened not with a spell but with butt plugs and paper cuts.The movie, opening in theaters Friday, is by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the filmmaking duo known as the “the Daniels,” whose first film, the buddy movie “Swiss Army Man,” co-starred Daniel Radcliffe as a very flatulent corpse.“Everything Everywhere All at Once," though, is more ambitious. It's possible that the distance has never before been so great between a movie's mundane storyline — in this case, a Chinese immigrant laundromat owner trying to file her taxes — and what extreme shape it takes.

Kevin Feige may not want audiences to know this, but there’s more going on at the local cinema than the latest MCU release. And Marvel may indeed own a large swathe of the Hollywood landscape today, but they don’t have a monopoly on everything — not even the multiverse.

“Everything Everywhere All At Once” carries a surprising sci-fi staidness for the loony directors behind “Swiss Army Man,” until a character, after ingesting a chock full of pink chapstick, magically becomes a martial arts master, decimating the security guards patrolling a drab IRS office in the process. In Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s bold and boundless, nihilist multiverse spectacle, the co-directors known as the Daniels gleefully reference “The Matrix,” “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon,” “2001: A Space Odyssey,” and the works of Wong Kar-wai to give the legendary Michelle Yeoh her most demanding, and possibly most fulfilling role, yet.
