'Backrooms,' a low-budget horror film from A24 directed by Kane Parsons, has made history by grossing over $100 million within just six days of its theatrical release. The film opened with an impressive $81.5 million in North America and has reached a total of $144 million globally. This achievement marks A24's highest-opening weekend ever, surpassing the previous record held by 'Marty Supreme,' which earned $96 million. Parsons, who is only 20 years old, has gained a significant following through his YouTube series that explores eerie, CGI-created spaces. The plot of 'Backrooms' follows Chiwetel Ejiofor as he discovers a portal leading to an endless series of indistinguishable rooms. With a production budget of around $10 million, the film has already made ten times its initial investment. This trend of indie horror films gaining box office success continues, as seen with other YouTube creators like Markiplier, whose film 'Iron Lung' opened at over $18 million earlier this year.
