Courtesy Everett Collection A24‘s “Backrooms” has cleared a major box office milestone in record time. The buzzy horror movie, from YouTuber Kane Parsons, will hit $100 million on Wednesday after just six days in theaters. Most arthouse releases are lucky to surpass that benchmark by the end of their box office runs — especially in this current, fractured moviegoing landscape.
Now “Backrooms” ranks as A24’s highest-grossing movie at the domestic box office, overtaking the benchmark that was just established by last December’s “Marty Supreme” with $96 million. “Marty Supreme,” starring Timothée Chalamet as a ping-pong phenom, remains the indie studio’s biggest film worldwide with $191 million, though “Backrooms” will soon surpass that high watermark, too. Globally, “Backrooms” has earned $144 million to date.
