Overview
Kane Parsons’ Backrooms earned $38 million domestically on Friday, already breaking A24’s record for best opening weekend. The outsized debut validates earlier box-office previews that flagged the film as a potential post–Memorial Day surprise and underscores its appeal to younger, YouTube-native audiences. Parsons’ interviews about the film’s internet-rooted lore and liminal-space aesthetic likely helped drive interest and word-of-mouth.
