'Backrooms', directed by Kane Parsons, has made a significant impact in the film industry, achieving remarkable box office success since its release by A24 on May 29, 2026. The film grossed $38.4 million on its opening day and $81.5 million domestically during its first weekend, marking A24's biggest opening ever and making Parsons the youngest filmmaker to achieve the number one spot at the American box office. Although there were earlier reports suggesting a sequel was in development, Parsons has dismissed these claims, stating he is 'not sure where that got out' and calling the idea a 'hallucination.' He had previously shown interest in expanding the story into a TV series, which he considers a more effective narrative approach. The film stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, and has received critical acclaim, holding an 88% Certified Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes. Currently, 'Backrooms' is still playing in theaters.
