Backrooms Set to Top $191.2M for A24 Record Despite 68% Weekend Drop
3 articles · Updated · Deadline · Jun 6
Summary
$185 million-plus by Sunday puts Backrooms within days of overtaking Marty Supreme’s $191.2 million global haul as A24’s biggest film worldwide.
A $25.7 million second weekend in North America would lift domestic sales to $134.8 million, while overseas revenue had already reached $50.3 million through Thursday.
The 68% domestic drop reflects a heavily front-loaded fan turnout: 81% of second-weekend viewers were under 35, yet the film is still on pace to set the record in 10 or 11 days.
That speed is striking for A24 because Marty Supreme needed 53 days to pass Everything Everywhere All at Once, and Backrooms was made for under $10 million with marketing in the teen millions.
