Nicole Kidman‘s 2024 movie has cracked the list of A24’s highest-grossing movies of all time with its latest box office milestone. The Australian actress is one of the most accomplished working today, winning an Academy Award for her performance in 2003’s The Hours and receiving four additional nominations for 2002’s Moulin Rogue!, 2011’s Rabbit Hole, 2017’s Lion, and 2022’s Being the Ricardos. Kidman also frequently appears on television, earning three Emmy nominations, including winning two for producing and starring in Big Little Lies.

Consistently ranking among the highest-paid actresses since the late 1990s, Kidman remains incredibly busy to this day. In 2024 alone, she has starred in the Prime Video series Expats, the Netflix films A Family Affair and Spellbound, the Netflix series The Perfect Couple, and the Paramount+ series Lioness. However, Kidman’s 2024 project that made the biggest cultural impact was an A24 movie, which was released in theaters on December 25, and many feel her performance was snubbed at the Academy Awards.
