Backrooms has crossed $175.2 million domestic and $272.7 million global, overtaking Us to become the No. 11 all-time domestic horror title; A24 and Chernin's roughly $10 million bet is now 16x+ back on domestic ticket sales and sequel development is already underway.
Disney+ EMEA lands a straight-to-series order for DAD, a dark family-murder mystery from Clem Garritty; the Hulu Original beat out BBC, ITV and Sky in a competitive buy.
Apple is keeping windowing fluid rather than fixed, with Eddy Cue and Jerry Bruckheimer teasing another F1 film and a Joseph Kosinski-directed UAP conspiracy thriller while reiterating Apple’s “best, not most” content strategy.
Filming wrapped on Universal’s new Exorcist reboot; Mike Flanagan writes and directs, with Scarlett Johansson and Chiwetel Ejiofor leading a stacked ensemble. Blumhouse-Atomic Monster and Red Room Pictures produce; theatrical release is locked for March 12, 2027.
Backrooms is tracking to an ~$80 million domestic opening; paired with Obsession, the two indie horror titles are on pace to clear $100 million at the U.S. box office this weekend. A24’s 3,000-screen rollout is a breakout moment for viral-IP horror and a loud signal for low-budget genre financing.
Curry Barker’s Obsession is tracking past $300 million worldwide on a $750,000 budget; Focus Features is leaning into the breakout with a shrine generator as the microbudget horror hit holds strong in week four.
