‘BACKROOMS’ director Kane Parsons says he would get “no enjoyment” out of using generative AI on any project — “It defeats the purpose entirely for me.”

“I think I'm in the same boat as most well-adjusted people. If I could snap my fingers and make generative Al disappear forever, I probably would.”

It is finally happening.
An indie film can make $100M at the box office without celebrities.
The times they are a changin'.
Make your movie.

[isaiah @tlop444]

remember when the netflix ceo said theaters were outdated…

[Exhibitor Relations Co. @ERCboxoffice]

The blockbuster summer movie as we know it is dead. RIP IP. The most talked about movies of the summer are two low budget indie films—OBSESSION and BACKROOMS.

Not sequels. Not spinoffs. Not reboots. OGs.

Movies are back, baby. This is the way.

[Global Box Office @GlobalBoxOffice]

Gen Z has just sent Hollywood a strong revolutionary message.

For the FIRST TIME this century two indie movies took #1 and #2 at the summer box office.

Around 80% of BACKROOMS and OBSESSION are under 35.

They want NEW ideas.

E.g., “Not every love story is a romance” (Nikki).

we used to have BLOCKING

[ally @missmayn]

these new horror movies are hitting because young folks are scared of different things.

home invasions don’t work because no one owns a home. slasher movies are unrealistic when everyone has ring cameras and life360.

liminal spaces and being forced to date a bad guy? horrific

When young directors take on horror>>

[Vincent Cook @VincentRCook]

Best movie of the year. See it.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

‘OBSESSION’ has earned $26.4M in its third weekend, a 10% increase.

• Weekend 1 - $16M
• Weekend 2 - $22.4M (+30%)
• Weekend 3 - $26.4M (+10%)

Simply unprecedented.

Disney Executives watching a $750,000 R-Rated Horror movie outperform their $165M Star Wars blockbuster

[John Squires 🎃 @FreddyInSpace]

So OBSESSION is about to make MORE in its third weekend than it did in its first weekend or its second weekend. While facing massive direct horror competition from BACKROOMS. This kind of thing just doesn't happen. MAY 2026 has truly become a historic month for the horror genre.

[🖤 Buy Physical Media 🖤 @VHSDVDBLURAY4K]

Why settle for streaming when you can have this

[Ruff Criminal @RuffCrim]

This was shot almost 60 years ago and it’s still mind-blowing

[Vince, The Film Nerd @NerdVince]

Blown away by this. Curry Barker is a brilliant lunatic.

THE PISTONS COME BACK FROM A 3-1 DEFICIT TO ADVANCE 🔥

Detroit gets it done in Game 7 for their first playoff series win since 2008!

[Aidan Pocock @Dunaidan3019]

By far the most insulting one so far.

- barely a decade old
- there’s no “new story to tell”
- can’t use the “remastered” excuse

just a flagrant insult to animation, and a cheap money grab
