Strong pre-release tracking gains and surging social media hype around A24’s Backrooms are driving trader consensus toward a domestic opening above $35 million. Early May projections from Deadline and BoxOffice Pro pegged the Kane Pixels-directed horror film at $20–30 million for its May 29 debut, but recent updates show those estimates climbing amid intense Gen Z interest in the viral Backrooms creepypasta and strong Instagram engagement on teasers. With a modest sub-$10 million budget and limited competition in the post-Memorial Day window, momentum from online buzz and early awareness metrics has shifted sentiment higher, though final numbers will hinge on review reception and walk-up sales in the final ten days before release.
