Olivia Wilde’s “The Invite” has become one of today’s rare indie comedies to connect at the summer box office.

Sandwiched between big-budget blockbusters like “The Odyssey” and “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” A24‘s “The Invite” has climbed to $20 million in North America and $15.7 million internationally from 36 markets after three weekends in wide release. Thanks to stellar reviews and even better word-of-mouth, ticket sales are about to surpass $40 million worldwide — and that’s before the movie has opened in all overseas territories. It has yet to debut in key countries like Italy, France and Spain.
