The Kane Parsons\u2019 film Backrooms<\/a><\/em> is expected to earn up to $90 million<\/a> in its opening weekend after pulling down $38 million<\/a> on Friday alone. That\u2019s not only above expectations<\/a>, but absolutely obliterates A24\u2019s previous opening weekend record of $25.5 million for Alex Garland\u2019s Civil War<\/em>. It\u2019s also a better opening day than The Mandalorian and Grogu<\/em>, which only pulled down $33.7 million on its way to a total $81.6 million for the weekend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n That also means that Backrooms is an incredibly profitable movie, with an estimated $10 million budget. By comparison, the latest Star Wars disappointment cost $165 million and was considered affordable<\/a> compared to other entries in the series.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n While Backrooms<\/em> hasn\u2019t received quite as much universal praise as fellow low-budget horror breakout Obsession<\/em>, it\u2019s still largely getting positive reviews. It also adds to the growing<\/a> number<\/a> of YouTube<\/a> creators (including Obsession\u2019s<\/em> Curry Barker<\/a>) who have proven to be successful box office draws<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
