Okay, so we just heard the news and we had to share! A24, you know, the cool movie folks, have a new highest-grossing movie ever. And guess what? It’s called Backrooms!

This flick has only been out for ten days and it’s already made over $212 million worldwide. That’s huge! It totally unseated Marty Supreme, starring Timothée Chalamet, which was at $191 million globally. Wowza!

We’re talking about a movie that started from a viral idea, a cool IP. And the way it’s shot, it’s got this eerie, almost liminal aesthetic that’s really drawing people in. It’s pretty wild to see something like that blow up so big.

Backrooms was number three at the global box office last weekend, pulling in another $50 million. It’s showing in 52 countries. It’s definitely got a vibe that’s connecting with audiences everywhere.

Our Take

Honestly, we love seeing unexpected movies become massive hits. It shows that great ideas and a unique look can really win. A24 is really showing they know how to pick ’em. This is a major moment for them, proving they can produce blockbusters alongside their indie darlings. It’s exciting to see where they go from here!
