Backrooms added $2.6M on Day 14, taking its US domestic total to $148.8M and worldwide gross to $226.4M.
The horror film built on internet lore continues to perform well into its second week despite expected moderation.
| Day 11 | $3.3M |
|---|---|
| Day 12 | $4.4M |
| Day 13 | $3.1M |
| Day 14 | $2.6M |
The film is showing the expected Week 2 moderation after a strong performance in the previous week. The $2.6M figure reflects sustained interest from both core horror fans and newer audiences who discovered the film through word-of-mouth and social media. Chiwetel Ejiofor’s grounded performance continues to provide an emotional anchor in the otherwise surreal and unsettling world of the backrooms.
Market-wise, the film is holding better in urban and suburban multiplexes where younger audiences remain engaged. The drop from the previous day is noticeable but not alarming for a horror title at this stage. Overseas markets continue to contribute steadily, helping push the worldwide gross past $226M.
The film’s viral marketing and strong concept have allowed it to maintain relevance longer than many similar micro-budget horror releases. With a current 15.88x ratio, it remains one of the most profitable theatrical releases of the year relative to its budget.
Looking ahead, the coming weekdays will be important in determining how much longer the film can maintain momentum before settling into a longer tail run.
