@filmdreams: Horror box office history in the making 👏 The box office performances of 'Backrooms' and 'Obsession' can be seen as an historic moment for the film industry. Both are low-budget, indie horror films directed by twenty-something YouTubers making their feature debuts, and together they are completely dominating the box office-even knocking blockbuster legacy franchises like Star Wars out of the top spots. - BACKROOMS CASE: directed by 20 years old Kane Parsons, the film opened with $81.5M. This easily makes it A24's biggest opening weekend in history. The film cost only $10 million to produce, but has already grossed over $118 million globally in its first few days. The massive turnout is heavily driven by Gen Z. Exit polls show that roughly 86% of the audience is under 35, with nearly half under the age of 21. - OBSESSION CASE: the film is increasing weekend by weekend, something very rare in modern cinema. It grossed 25M in its third weekend and it has now amassed almost 150M worldwide, nearly 200x its $750K budget. #backrooms #obsession #horror #cinema
