It was bigger than the latest Pixar movie, and it's about on par with the opening of the latest Star Wars film, which is some of the most beloved IP that has ever been created.
And then the final milestone is this is A24's biggest opening weekend ever.
A24 is this insurgent movie studio that's kind of burst on the scene in Hollywood backrooms.
$81 million.
Number two, the previous record holder, was Civil War with $25.5 million opening.
Marty Supreme, which has one of the biggest movie stars anywhere in the world, Timothee Chalamet, opened to $17.5 million.
Then the drama, $14.4 million.
Wes and Dan, Robin Patterson.
So this is a full-blown phenomenon.
All right, the question was, will these Gen Z audiences who are watching these YouTubers on their laptop actually go to movie theaters and pay $13, $14, $15 a ticket to see it on the big screen?
And the answer is absolutely yes.
For Backrooms, 85% of the audience was under the age of 35.
More than 50% were 25 or younger.
It appears that Gen Z loves to get out of the house, actually, because they've just been on their phone their whole life, and they want that escape.
In 2025, according to Fandango,
The members of Gen Z saw an average of seven movies in theaters compared to Gen X and Baby Boomers, who saw around six movies on average.
So these Gen Z people are coming out to the movies.
I have heard from people who did see Backrooms and Obsession that they talk a lot during the movies.
Like they're like, I love these movies were great, but no one has any attention span.
And they were just chattering the whole time.
