Backrooms Shatters A24 Opening Records

Record-Breaking Opening Weekend

Kane Parsons’ film Backrooms is making waves in the film industry with an impressive $38 million earned on its opening day. This figure not only surpasses expectations but also breaks A24's previous record of $25.5 million set by Civil War. Analysts predict that Backrooms could reach up to $90 million by the end of its opening weekend, solidifying its status as a blockbuster.

With a modest budget of just $10 million, Backrooms is proving to be a highly profitable venture. In comparison, the latest Star Wars installment, which cost $165 million, is seen as a financial disappointment. Despite not receiving universal acclaim like other low-budget hits, Backrooms is still garnering positive reviews, showcasing the potential of YouTube creators as box office draws.

  • Key Highlights:
  • $38 million opening day earnings
  • Expected total of $90 million for the weekend
  • Breaks A24's previous record
  • Budget of only $10 million
As the film continues to gain traction, it raises questions about the future of horror films and their profitability in the current market.
