Two low-budget horror films built around online content draw unusually large audiences to theaters this weekend, according to multiple outlets. “Backrooms” and “Obsession,” both described as indie horror projects made by younger YouTube filmmakers, are reported to be pulling predominantly Gen Z moviegoers to cinemas. The reporting frames the results as a potential sign of growing influence from online entertainment formats on mainstream box-office performance. One source notes that the two films outperform a major franchise entry at the weekend box office, suggesting that the appeal of these internet-origin movies is resonating more strongly with some theater audiences than big-budget studio releases. While details such as exact ticket figures and ranking are not provided in the excerpts, the common thread across the coverage is that these smaller horror titles—created for and popularized through online platforms—are generating strong turnout and outperforming larger-budget competition during the same weekend period.
