@filmenthusiast: Two YouTube directors. Two horror films. An industry that will never look the same. Obsession has now crossed $224 million worldwide on a $750,000 budget, making it Focus Features' highest-grossing film of all time. The number that is going viral alongside it: Inde Navarrette was reportedly paid $20,000 for the role that made her a household name overnight. Capstone, the production company behind the film, is estimated to take home $45 to $50 million from its investment. Backrooms is sitting at $212 million worldwide and climbing, already surpassing Obsession's domestic total and now nipping at its global record. Backrooms 2 is officially in the works. Both films are zeitgeist-defining hits from first-time directors who started on YouTube and had never made a feature before.
