After a record-breaking debut weekend, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms was already a massive success story, and the liminal horror movie just passed another milestone.
Backrooms scared up an estimated $25.9 million at the U.S. box office in its second weekend, finding itself in the #3 spot behind Scary Movie and Masters of the Universe. That’s a 70% drop from the film’s massive opening weekend total of $81.4 million, which was expected.
The current domestic total for Backrooms is now $135 million, while Backrooms just passed $200 million at the worldwide box office. The current worldwide take is $212.6 million!
Backrooms is already the second highest grossing horror movie of 2026, and it’s now nipping at the heels of Obsession to claim the #1 spot. Obsession‘s worldwide total is $224.7 million at the time of this article being written, while the domestic total is currently $152.1 million.
A huge part of the story here is that the production budget for Backrooms was a reported $10 million, the kind of budget that often doesn’t result in $200+ million movies. This one was a massive success literally from the first Thursday night of release, and everything from this point forward is just adding more and more profit onto the pile for Blumhouse and A24.

Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
