Summary
$357 million worldwide after 37 days in theaters made Backrooms the latest A24 milestone, with the $10 million film crossing $350 million globally on Sunday.
China is driving part of that run: the film is nearing $15 million there after a $4.7 million weekend drop of just 12%, while France, Russia & CIS, Poland and Thailand also set new A24 country records.
Holds remained strong elsewhere, including a 5% weekend gain in Germany to $1.1 million, a 26% dip in Taiwan with $2.5 million total, and $4 million across Benelux.
The breakout has pushed director Kane Parsons, who built an audience with viral Backrooms shorts, into in-demand status as A24 extends a summer run of YouTube-born hits.
Obsession, released two weeks earlier from another YouTube-rooted filmmaker, has already reached $403 million globally, underscoring the commercial momentum behind low-budget online-native horror.
