Backrooms and Obsession are both closing in on $200M worldwide, sharpening the case for creator-driven horror as a box office engine. The roundup also flags Netflix’s podcast-talent shopping and the growing legal fight over Paramount Skydance’s Warner Bros. Discovery bid.
Backrooms is about to become A24's biggest film ever, clearing Marty Supreme after a $134.8M domestic and $50.3M international run; the viral horror adaptation is headed past $185M worldwide.
$56M domestic opening gives Scary Movie 6 the franchise’s biggest launch ever; Melissa Joan Hart was originally eyed for Cindy before Anna Faris won the role on Keenen Ivory Wayans’ push.
AMC is turning Season 3 into a full relaunch, retitling Interview With the Vampire as The Vampire Lestat and backing the shift with a Beacon Theatre concert, 20 original songs and a broader music-platform rollout. Netflix sampling, branded tie-ins and in-world marketing are doing the heavy lifting as AMC tries to reset the series’ audience base.
Paramount+ has picked up a Cop Land TV adaptation, with James Mangold co-writing and directing and Robert Levine set to showrun. The series reopens Miramax’s library playbook after Paramount’s Skydance-backed regime scooped up Mangold’s High Side last year.
Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation lock in Ghostbusters: Night Shift for a 2027 debut; Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Ben Hibon and Elliott Kalan front the next animated chapter, unveiled with a new logo at Ghostbusters Day.
