A24's "Backrooms," a film born from viral internet culture, is poised to surpass the studio's previous box-office record this weekend or early next week. The Kane Parsons-directed movie will dethrone Timothée Chalamet's "Marty Supreme," which earned $191.2 million globally, making it A24's highest-grossing film ever. The achievement is notable given that "Backrooms" has accomplished this despite experiencing a significant drop in its recent box-office performance, underscoring the internet-native property's unexpected mainstream commercial success.
