Popular film company A24 has been praised for their biographical drama The Iron Claw, based on Kevin Von Erich and the rest of the Von Erich family. The film was released in the United States on December 21, 2023, and is currently enjoying critical and financial success. To celebrate the film’s performance, A24 has announced the upcoming release of their action figure based on the film.
On Twitter, A24 revealed an action figure of Zac Efron’s portrayal of Kevin and shared that it will be available for pre-order soon. It will be the first merchandise released from the film on their website.
“Bringing the Iron Claw to YOU. Available for pre-order on the A24 Shop next month: the official Zac Efron-as-Kevin Von Erich Action Figure,” wrote A24.
The film company added that it will also come with a warm-up jacket for the action figure seen in the movie. It’s unclear if A24 plans to release other action figures based on The Iron Claw, like Jeremy Allen White’s role as Kerry Von Erich.
The back of the package for their upcoming action figure, besides Efron and White, also has Holt McCallany(Fritz Von Erich), Harris Dickinson (David Von Erich), and Stanley Simons(Mike Von Erich). The success of their first action figure could possibly lead to more with the rest of the Von Erich Family featured in the film.
No official release date has been shared from A24. However, fans in the comment section have pointed out that the film has yet to be released worldwide.
The Iron Claw Box Office & Future Release In Other Countries
Business Report’s Dillion Lowe shared that the film was made on a $15 million budget. According to Box Office Mojo, it has grossed over $29 million in the United States. Although The Iron Claw has made a profit, it hasn’t been available to people in different parts of the world.
The film is slowly being released in other countries this year and three countries in the last two weeks. Box Office Mojo has shared that the film has been released in the United Arab Emirates(January 4), Russia (January 11) and Iceland (January 12). All three countries boosted sales for a combined over $181 thousand.
Digital Spy’s Sam Warner reported that the film will go to theaters in the United Kingdom on February 9. It’s unclear if the movie will go to other markets like Japan, France, and Mexico. A24’s film could cross well over $30 million at the box office, but it may not be as much as it could’ve been. The long wait will have the film competing with newer releases in different countries.
Regardless, A24’s The Iron Claw is already a success and will try to add more revenue with their upcoming action figure.
