A24 has achieved a historic milestone with the release of 'Backrooms,' which has officially become the studio's highest-grossing film of all time.
Directed by 20-year-old Kane Parsons—best known for his viral YouTube series—the film shattered expectations by crossing the $200 million mark at the global box office in just ten days.
With a production budget of under $10 million, the movie is a massive financial success for the studio.
Parsons, the youngest director to lead an A24 feature, successfully translated his 'liminal space' aesthetic to the big screen, supported by a 30,000-square-foot practical set.
Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, the film earned an 89% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, signaling a new era for A24.
