Backrooms Day 8: $8.0M — Steady Run

Backrooms added $8.0M on Day 8, taking its US domestic total to $117.1M.

After a massive opening week, the Day 8 number reflects a healthy hold for a micro-budget title that has already exceeded expectations by a wide margin. Chiwetel Ejiofor’s central performance and the unsettling atmosphere have clearly connected with audiences looking for original, unsettling thrills.

Week 2 performance will be the key indicator of how far this phenomenon can run theatrically.
