A24 Auctions off Props from ‘The Lighthouse’, ‘Uncut Gems’ to Aid Coronavirus Relief

Yes, Howard’s black opal was stunning in Uncut Gems, but we all know a certain sparkling Furby was the real star of the Safdie brothers’ 2019 drama. And now, A24 is putting the piece up for auction along with dozens of other movie props in an effort to raise money for coronavirus relief in New York. Starting today, the indie film distributor is launching the first of its online auctions, which will take place weekly on the A24 Auctions website through May 11 and will benefit new charities each week.

The first auction, which begins today, includes items from four A24 films of the past couple years in an A24 Attic auction. The proceeds from the items sold will benefit NYC Health + Hospitals to provide healthcare workers with meals, groceries, hotel rooms, laundry service and scrubs. Today, you can score some heirloom doormats from the horror movie Hereditary, buy Kayla’s Eighth Grade time capsule, practice some tricks on Stevie’s Mid90s skateboard, or lounge around in quarantine with Rue’s maroon Euphoria hoodie. All items are available for auction starting today at 12/1c and ending May 8 at 3/2c.

Next week, Midsommar fans can get their hands on some props from the Florence Pugh horror movie, including Dani’s sacrificial May Queen dress (buyer beware, it’s 33 pounds) and the finishing mallet used in an ättestupa ritual. Proceeds from the April 27 auction, which begins at 10/9c, will benefit the FDNY Foundation to support the New York City Fire Department.

The rest of the auction schedule includes the Gems from Gems auction and the Let There Be Light Auction, featuring props from The Lighthouse. Remember that iconic scene in Uncut Gems when Dinah (Idina Menzel) tries on her Bat Mitzvah dress at Passover dinner? That could be you next Passover, because A24 is auctioning off the pink 80s creation alongside Kevin Garnett’s Celtics jersey and yes, the aforementioned crystal Furby during the Gems auction May 4. The Lighthouse fans can bid for a massive replica of the mesmerizing lighthouse lens or the wooden mermaid talisman Robert Pattinson, uh, connects with in one of the drama’s more intense scenes.

Each auction lasts 16 days and will take place on the A24 auctions website. The first auction began today at 12/1c, and the next auction is scheduled for next Wednesday, April 27. Here’s the schedule of A24 auctions and what films with be featured, as well as what charities will benefit:
