Gen Z Drives Theaters with YouTube-Origin Horror Hits

A surprise box-office weekend saw Gen Z audiences flock to theaters for two YouTube-origin horror debuts—'Backrooms' and 'Obsession'—with 'Backrooms' grossing $81.5 million in its first three days from 3,442 locations (global $118 million) on a $10 million budget, and 'Obsession' earning $26.4 million in its third weekend (NA total about $104.7 million). The films, produced by Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, validate a strategy of scouting online talent to draw younger crowds and suggest this could be a new model for cinema, while 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' slipped to third.

Unveiling the Controversial Hbomberguy vs James Somerton Clash

YouTube video essayist Hbomberguy's video on plagiarism among content creators, particularly focusing on James Somerton, has gone viral, gaining over 9.6 million views in just 11 days. The video accuses Somerton of stealing content from queer writers, academics, journalists, and content creators in at least 26 videos. Somerton's co-writer, Nicholas Hergott, has faced backlash for his association with Somerton and the crowdfunding project Telos Pictures. Hbomberguy's video has raised substantial ad revenue, leading to complications in fulfilling the pledge to give away profits to those who were plagiarized. The video highlights the dangers of plagiarism, including the spread of misinformation and queer erasure.
