Barnes & Noble and entertainment giant A24 have begun a partnership under which A24 will have sections in select B&N stores that "brings the beloved studio's signature storytelling to life." The space will showcase A24's bestsellers along with new products that include A24 Books, Blu-rays, vinyl, collectibles, and exclusive merchandise.
The sections are opening now in nine B&N stores, including the flagship Union Square store in New York City and the B&N at the Grove at Farmers Market in Los Angeles. Other locations are in Portland, Ore., Orlando, Fla., Seattle, Wash., Bloomington, Minn., Oak Brook, Ill., San Antonio, Texas, and Troy, Mich. A24 sections will open in more B&N stores next year.
The partnership includes events like the recent launch of Eleanor Coppola's final memoir, Two of Me: Notes on Living & Leaving (A24), which featured an in-store conversation between Sofia and Roman Coppola, moderated by Vogue editor Keaton Bell.
Founded in 2012, A24 produces and distributes films, TV series, documentaries, music, books, and more. It has a library of more than 150 films and TV series. A24's distinguished list of films includes Lady Bird, Moonlight, Minari, Aftersun, Past Lives, Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Brutalist, Highest 2 Lowest, While We're Young, Materialists, and Uncut Gems.
Bill Castle, B&N's director of media, said, "Storytelling has always been at the heart of Barnes & Noble, and we're thrilled to partner with A24, the home for storytelling on screen. This partnership gives fans another way to experience the stories, films, and artists they love."
