A24 has released the official first-look video for Olivia Wilde’s new comedy ‘The Invite’. Posted on A24’s official YouTube channel on June 18, 2026, the video is a behind-the-scenes featurette that includes scenes from the film, with the lead actors introducing their characters’ relationships and dynamics, along with comments from director Wilde.

The film begins when Joe (Seth Rogen) and Angela (Olivia Wilde), a couple in a troubled marriage, invite their mysterious upstairs neighbors (Edward Norton and Penélope Cruz) over for dinner. What starts as an ordinary evening spirals out of control in an unexpected direction, putting the relationships between the two couples to an unforeseen test overnight.

‘The Invite’ is a remake of the Spanish film ‘The People Upstairs,’ directed by Cesc Gay, with a screenplay by Will McCormack and Rashida Jones. After premiering at the Sundance Film Festival on January 24, 2026, it made headlines when A24 acquired the distribution rights following fierce competition.

With a runtime of 107 minutes, the film began a limited North American release on June 26, 2026, before expanding to a wide release on July 10. Buoyed by positive reviews and word of mouth, it earned approximately $42.9 million worldwide, establishing itself as one of the summer’s rare comedy hits.
