In just one week, 'Backrooms' has set a historic record without breaking a sweat

If you love cinema, you know A24. After all, they are the ones responsible for you now knowing movies like Everything Everywhere All at Once, Ex Machina, or A Different Man and, of course, they are the ones who have brought to theaters around the world the movie that has been talked about non-stop for the past few weeks: Backrooms.

What no one expected is that this work, which only cost 10 million dollars, would shatter all internal records in one fell swoop.

Behind the door is the money

It has only taken two weekends for the horror movie to surpass all box office records of A24, earning over 200 million dollars and thus surpassing its previous biggest success, Marty Supreme. That one made 191 million during its entire run in theaters (including the Oscar nomination), while Kane Parsons has already accumulated 212 million… and counting.

In reality, it was already foreseeable, given that it had the best opening in the history of the production company with 81 million just in the United States, tripling the previous one (Civil War, with 25.5).

The “culprit” has been a Gen Z eager for stories told for them that is paving the way for new cinema, which, hopefully, will be further away from sequels and franchises than what we have consumed in recent years.

Overall, Backrooms has already made so much money for A24 that they should put up a monument to its director. In today’s Hollywood, making 20 times what you spent is synonymous with victory against the system. Just ask the director of Obsession if not!
