Backrooms horror film tops box office, launches extended ‘Liquidación total’ version

The horror movie "Backrooms", directed by 19‑year‑old Kane Parsons, became A24’s highest‑grossing release, earning over $330 million worldwide on a $10 million budget, including an $81 million U.S. opening weekend that made it the top‑grossing film globally, and making Parsons the youngest director of a worldwide No. 1 box‑office film.
