上周末,年轻观众蜂拥至全美各地影院。不过,他们并非为了捧场大制作的《星球大战》系列电影《曼达洛人与古古》(The Mandalorian and Grogu)——该片上映第二周票房大幅跳水——而是为了一部源自互联网、由20岁新人导演执导的低成本恐怖片。

根据片方上周日公布的预估数据,A24发行的《后室》在北美和加拿大3442家影院上映,首映三天便创下惊人的8150万美元票房。这一数字仅比《曼达洛人与古古》上周末首映三天的票房低数十万美元;而由油管(YouTube)创作者凯恩·帕森斯(Kane Parsons)执导并联合编剧的《后室》,制作成本仅为1000万美元。

《后室》的火爆表现甚至未对《执迷》(Obsession)的票房造成影响,后者同样由26岁的油管博主柯里·巴克(Curry Barker)执导,这是他的处女作。上映三周以来,这部制作成本不足100万美元的电影票房仍未跌破首周末水平。上周末,该片票房上涨10%,再揽2640万美元,位列榜单第二,而由资深导演执导、华特迪士尼影业(Disney Studios)出品的经典IP电影《星球大战:曼达洛人与古古》则以2500万美元的票房屈居第三。

事实证明,油管或许并非影院的终结者。从上周末的票房走势来看,它反倒有望成为电影产业全新的增长动力。

上周末影院还有多部新片上映:知名喜剧演员奈特·巴盖兹(Nate Bargatze)主演的PG级家庭喜剧《养家之人》(The Breadwinner),以及奥斯卡奖得主布兰登·费舍(Brendan Fraser)主演、讲述诺曼底登陆前紧张的72小时的二战剧情片《诺曼底72小时》(Pressure)。但人气最高的还是两位二十多岁的油管博主执导的作品。《后室》和《执迷》均由布伦屋-原子怪兽公司出品。

布伦屋-原子怪兽公司总裁阿比贾伊·普拉卡什(Abhijay Prakash)表示,上周末的票房表现既令人震惊,也印证了公司的商业模式。自成立以来,该公司始终致力于打造吸引年轻观众的原创恐怖片,迄今为止票房已突破100亿美元。

他指出,公司一直致力于在油管发掘新锐人才。深谙好莱坞运作模式的普拉卡什表示,上周末的成功很可能会掀起一波跟风潮。但更令他感到振奋的是,这些已在网络上取得巨大成功的年轻创作者,依然重视院线电影的文化价值。

“这对我们来说是极具意义的积极信号,”普拉卡什说道,“过段时间回过头来看,我们或许会认为这是真正的转折点。”

《后室》最初是“恐怖怪谈”(网络上流传的都市传说),后来帕森斯借助开源3D图形软件Blender将这个关于永无止境、单调压抑的房间和走廊的概念改编成爆红的网络剧集,引起了温子仁(James Wan)和肖恩·利维(Shawn Levy)旗下制片公司的关注,他们希望将其进一步开发。不久后,由切瓦特·埃加福(Chiwetel Ejiofor)和雷娜特·赖因斯夫主演的电影正式开拍。

该片不仅在北美大获成功,算上国际票房,《后室》全球总票房已达1.18亿美元。A24表示,帕森斯现已成为全球最年轻的票房冠军导演。这也是该制片公司有史以来最高的开画票房,此前的纪录保持者是2024年上映的《美国内战》(Civil War),开画票房为2550万美元。

这部R级电影获得了影评人的一致好评,并吸引了年轻且多元的观众走进影院。观影后调查显示,86%的观众年龄在35岁以下,其中超过半数在25岁以下,44%在21岁以下。许多观众结伴观影,据报道,多地出现场次售罄、影院爆满和二刷三刷的情况。不过,观众在CinemaScore上给出B-评分,口碑并不突出。

但影片的热度仍引发了全年龄段观众的观影狂潮,甚至包括青少年,大家都渴望一睹为快。部分影院甚至在影厅外安排工作人员,确保21岁以下观众由成年人陪同。同为R级的《执迷》也采取了相同措施,该片北美总票房已达1.047亿美元,成为焦点电影公司(Focus Features)有史以来北美票房最高的影片。

在全美运营26家影院(其中大部分为餐饮影院)的Cinépolis USA首席执行官路易斯·奥洛基(Luis Olloqui)表示,这两部电影在他旗下的多家影院均已售罄。

“我们之前有点担心这两部电影会争夺同一受众群体,但事实并非如此,”奥洛基说道,“这表明,只要内容足够精彩,各年龄段的观众都愿意走进影院。”

与此同时,《曼达洛人与古古》较上周末首开票房下跌约69%,目前全球总票房为2.466亿美元。

《迈克尔·杰克逊:巨星之路》(Michael)在上映第六周末以1170万美元的票房位列第四,这部音乐传记片目前北美总票房已达3.399亿美元。索尼发行的《养家之人》以约750万美元的票房位列第五。《诺曼底72小时》首周末票房580万美元,排名第七。

犯罪爱情片《调音师》(Tuner)未能跻身前十,该片在上映第二周扩映至452家影院,收获170万美元票房。

“所有人都在问,好莱坞电影的下一个爆款是什么?什么才能让观众重新走进影院?这可能就是答案。”Comscore市场趋势主管保罗·德加拉贝迪安(Paul Dergarabedian)表示。

Young audiences turned out in droves to movie theaters around the country this weekend. It wasn’t for the big budget “Star Wars” movie, “The Mandalorian and Grogu, ” which fell sharply in its second weekend, however, but for a small budget horror from a 20-year-old first-time filmmaker that began on the internet.

“Backrooms,” released by A24 in 3,442 locations in the U.S. and Canada, made an astonishing $81.5 million in its first three days in theaters, according to studio estimates on Sunday. That’s just a few hundred thousand dollars shy of what “The Mandalorian and Grogu” earned in its first three days last weekend; And “Backrooms,” which was directed and co-written by YouTube creator Kane Parsons, cost only $10 million to produce.

The wild success of “Backrooms” didn’t even hurt “Obsession,” which is also the directorial debut of a YouTuber, Curry Barker, who is only 26. Three weekends in, “Obsession,” a movie that cost less than $1 million to make, still hasn’t dropped below its opening weekend earnings. This weekend, it was up 10% with another $26.4 million for a second-place finish, leaving Star Wars, the legacy franchise movie from the veteran filmmaker and the Walt Disney Studios, in third with $25 million.

YouTube might not be the death of movie theaters after all. If this weekend is any indication, it could be the industry’s new great hope.

This is a weekend where theaters also hosted the debuts of “The Breadwinner,” a PG-rated family comedy starring the popular comedian Nate Bargatze, and “Pressure,” a solid World War II drama about the tense 72 hours before D-Day with Oscar-winner Brendan Fraser. But it was the 20-something YouTubers that drew the most crowds. And both “Backrooms” and “Obsession” were produced by Blumhouse-Atomic Monster.

Abhijay Prakash, the president of Blumhouse-Atomic Monster said that the weekend is both staggering and validation of their business, which has from the beginning championed original horror movies that appeal to younger audiences, and generated over $10 billion in box office to date.

He noted that they’ve made a point of looking for up and coming talent on YouTube and, knowing how Hollywood works, this weekend likely inspire a wave of copycats. But beyond that, he’s encouraged by the fact that the young creators who’ve already had enormous success online still value the cultural currency of theatrical movies.

“It’s a great sign of relevance for us,” Prakash said. “With some distance, we’ll probably look back at this as a real turning point.”

“Backrooms” started as a creepypasta — an internet-generated urban legend — before Parsons turned the concept, about a never-ending expanse of dull, depressing rooms and hallways, into a viral web series, which he made with the help of the open-source 3D graphics software Blender. It caught the attention of James Wan and Shawn Levy’s production companies who were interested in taking it to the next level; Soon a movie was in development with Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve starring.

It wasn’t just a domestic hit either; Including international showings, “Backrooms” has already made $118 million globally. A24 said Parsons is now the youngest director to have a No. 1 film globally. It’s also a record opening for the studio, whose previous high-water mark was “Civil War,” which opened to $25.5 million in 2024.

The R-rated film was well-reviewed by critics and drew a young and diverse crowd to theaters. According to exit polls, 86% of the audience was under 35, more than half were under 25 and 44% were under 21. Many attended in groups and there were reports of sold-out shows, packed theaters and repeat viewings. Audiences gave it a less-than-stellar B- CinemaScore, however.

But the buzz is still creating a frenzy of all ages, even teenagers, wanting to see “Backrooms.” Some theaters have even posted employees outside of the screens to make sure that anyone under 21 is accompanied by an adult. The same is true for the R-rated “Obsession,” which has now made $104.7 million in North America, and is now Focus Features’ highest grossing domestic release.

Luis Olloqui, the CEO of Cinépolis USA, which operates 26 theaters across the country — most of which are dine-in — said they’ve seen sellouts at many of their locations for both movies.

“We were a little worried that they would be competing for the same audience. It’s not the case,” Olloqui said. “It shows that when we have the right content, people from all ages are willing to go to the theater.”

“The Mandalorian and Grogu,” meanwhile, fell around 69% from its opening last weekend. The movie has now made $246.6 million globally.

“Michael” landed in fourth place with $11.7 million in its sixth weekend — the musical biopic has made $339.9 million domestically to date. “The Breadwinner,” released by Sony, rounded out the top five with an estimated $7.5 million. ”Pressure” opened in seventh place with $5.8 million.

Outside of the top 10 was the heist-romance “Tuner,” which expanded to 452 theaters in its second weekend, earning a solid $1.7 million.

“Everyone’s asking what’s the next big thing in Hollywood for movies, and what can bring people back to the movie theater? And this may be it,” said Paul Dergarabedian, the head of marketplace trends for Comscore.

Top 10 movies by domestic box office

With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore:

1. “Backrooms,” $81.5 million.

2. “Obsession,” $26.4 million.

3. “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu,” $25 million.

4. “Michael,” $11.7 million.

5. “The Breadwinner,” $7.5 million.

6. “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” $5.9 million.

7. “Pressure,” $5.8 million.

8. “The Sheep Detectives,” $4.6 million.

9. “Passenger,” $2.6 million.

10. “Mortal Kombat II,” $2 million.
