‘BACKROOMS’ is tracking to break these records this weekend.
• One of the top 5 biggest openings for a horror film ever
• Biggest opening weekend ever for an A24 film
• Kane Parsons (20) will be the youngest director of all time to have a #1 film on its opening weekend
Renate Reinsve says she felt very safe working on the ‘BACKROOMS’ movie because of how detailed Kane Parsons was with developing the film.
“He had a world of deep references to what exactly he specifically wanted, like even the wires [in certain shots].”
