Summary
A24's horror film "Backrooms," directed by YouTube creator-turned-filmmaker Kane Parsons, is projected to earn $40-50 million in its opening weekend. This would shatter A24's previous opening record of $25.5 million set by Alex Garland's "Civil War" in 2024. Unlike many A24 releases that used limited theater rollouts to build buzz, "Backrooms" is taking a wider release strategy.
