The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act, adapted from a YouTube sensation, opens in 2,221 theaters with an estimated $6.8 million Friday, positioning it to win the weekend ahead of A24's Backrooms. The film, produced by Fathom Entertainment and Glitch Productions, marks another attempt to translate internet-born content into theatrical box-office success.
