Backrooms film becomes A24's top‑grossing release in the United States

The horror‑thriller "Backrooms: A Non‑Place", the debut feature by 16‑year‑old director Kane Parsons and starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, has earned $103.86 million in its first week of U.S. theatrical release, according to Box Office Mojo.

The total puts the film ahead of previous A24 hits such as "Marty Supreme" ($96.04 million), "Everything Everywhere All at Once", "Civil War" and "The Drama", making it the studio’s highest‑grossing U.S. title to date. The movie expands the internet‑originated "Backrooms" creepypasta into a full‑length horror story.

The plot follows a 1990 furniture salesman who discovers a portal to an endless maze of surreal office spaces and his therapist who enters to rescue him, blending horror with psychological themes.
