Backrooms horror film crosses $400 million global box office total
The low-budget horror film Backrooms has reached $400 million in worldwide ticket sales after nearly four months of theatrical release.
Domestic and international earnings breakdown
The movie earned $197.5 million from domestic markets and $202.57 million from international territories to reach its current total. This performance marks a significant achievement for an independent production that cost only $10 million to make. The film now stands as the highest-grossing release in A24 history.
Director and audience reception details
YouTuber Kane Parsons directed the project, which benefited from strong word-of-mouth support among younger viewers. This success challenges the idea that Gen Z audiences do not frequent cinemas regularly. The film joined Obsession as another low-budget horror hit from a former online creator.
Distributor market share comparison
A24 finished the summer season with $237 million in total revenue to rank fourth among all distributors. This result placed the independent company ahead of major studios like Paramount and Warner Bros during the busy popcorn season.
