“Backrooms,” a horror film born out of a 4chan creepypasta and produced for around $10 million, opened to an extraordinary $81 million, smashing records for distributor A24; and “Obsession,” a horror film made on a budget of $750,000, grossed $26.4 million in its third weekend of release — a 10% jump from the previous weekend — and crossed $100 million domestically. Meanwhile, “The Mandalorian and Grogu,” a “Star Wars” spinoff with a $165 million price tag, came in third, tumbling 70% in its second weekend, and its opening weekend was the lowest ever for a “Star Wars” film under Disney.
