Steven Spielberg says it’s been fantastic to see the success of ‘OBSESSION’ and ‘BACKROOMS’.
“I think it’s great that they had basically very little money, especially ‘Obsession’ that had under $1M and ‘Backrooms’ had maybe $10M or $9M. They're doing so well and I applaud them
I haven't seen ‘Backrooms’, I’m going to see it when all this is over but I have seen ‘Obsession’ and I loved it.”
