Backrooms Surges Past $100M, Cementing A24’s Domestic Box Office Crown

A24’s horror hit Backrooms, based on Kane Parsons’ web lore, crossed $100 million at the domestic box office in six days, becoming the studio’s highest-grossing film domestically (and likely globally soon) with a production budget around $10 million and a current worldwide total near $144 million; the film also marked the biggest debut for A24 and the strongest start for an original horror movie, though a sequel hasn’t been announced and analysts expect a robust second weekend.
