“Backrooms” earned $7.9 million on its second Friday in North American theaters.
After shattering expectations with an $81.5 million opening weekend, the liminal horror-thriller is expected to add another $25 million by Sunday. A24 only spent about $10 million on “Backrooms,” meaning it’s already one of the most profitable films of the year. https://t.co/iN03xRJZq4
Put your phones away!!!!! You’re watching a movie. Watch the movie and show some respect for your fellow audience members and the filmmakers. It’s so gross how many of you do this.
‘BACKROOMS’ has opened with $81.5M domestically.
• 5th biggest domestic opening for a horror film ever
• Already A24's second highest grossing film of all time domestically
If I may- in my estimation- #WidowsBay may very well be the best streaming series in a long time… and hands down one of the most mesmerizing acts of narrative prestidigitation in Horror.
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.
Curry Barker’s ‘OBSESSION’ has crossed $80M globally, exceeding its production budget of $750K.
Cementing itself as one of the year’s biggest box office successes.
‘OBSESSION’ is one of the only films in the 21st century to earn 30% more in its second weekend than its opening weekend.
The film earned $22.4M this weekend.
I actually love the idea that the willow is totally morally neutral and has everything to do with the person who uses it.
Which is why the two shopkeepers who seem to have used it don't really have a problem with it.
