That Creepy Yellow Maze Movie Just Made $9 Million In One Night
- The YouTube legend hitting the big screen.
- Why the $9 million box office jump is huge.
- The yellow, liminal vibe we can’t stop thinking about.
We just saw the box office numbers for the new Backrooms movie. Honestly? Our jaws are on the floor. It already made $9 million in Thursday previews alone. That is massive.
Kane Parsons started this whole thing on the internet. Now he is playing in the big leagues with A24. This isn’t just a small indie win. It is performing like a giant blockbuster. It is even beating out movies like Scream 7 in presales. Wild.
As art grads, we are obsessed with the aesthetic. It is all about those endless yellow walls. The hum of fluorescent lights. That strange, empty ‘liminal space’ vibe. It feels lonely and scary all at once. The visual style is so specific. It’s like a living nightmare that you can’t stop watching.
We love seeing creators get their flowers. It reminds us of the excitement when we heard Florence Pugh was taking us to The Midnight Library. Both projects have such a strong mood. They don’t look like everything else in the theater.
Speaking of big energy, this news is as huge as that giant guy standing next to Ram Charan. People are clearly hungry for something fresh. They want movies that look and feel different.
Our Take
We think this is a huge win for internet artists. Kane Parsons proved you don’t need a massive studio background to win. You just need a great vision. This isn’t your basic jump-scare story. As Kiara Advani said about her film Toxic, some stories just aren’t basic. The Backrooms is a total visual experience. We are here for the yellow wallpaper era!
