Backrooms, the psychological horror film from 20-year-old director Kane Parsons, has marked a new bright spot for the horror genre.
The film, which stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve and Mark Duplass, debuted May 29. It brought in more than $81 million at the domestic box office in its opening weekend, off a $10 million budget, according to The Numbers, a film industry data site that tracks box office revenue.
Backrooms not only routed at the box office but made history in the process, with Parsons becoming the youngest director to helm a #1 box office film globally, A24 confirmed to ABC News this week.
The film is also the largest original horror debut in history, according to the studio.
Additionally, Obsession, a horror film starring Inde Navarrette that debuted in May, has brought in more than $104 million in the weeks since its May 15 theatrical premiere, according to The Numbers.
According to a brief synopsis from A24, Backrooms centers around a "strange doorway" that "appears in the basement of a furniture showroom" one day.
A trailer for the film shows Ejiofor's character, Clark, the furniture store owner, discovering the doorway before ending up in a large, dimly lit room with nothing but furniture piled up at the center and various voices speaking foreign languages over a fuzzy loudspeaker.
He later explains his confusion to his therapist, Dr. Mary Kline, played by Reinsve, before the trailer returns to the mysterious space, with Clark now exploring with some company. The trailer concludes with Reinsve entering the space as well.
Backrooms was written by Will Soodik, and was produced by horror filmmakers James Wan and Osgood Perkins, Arrival producer Shawn Levy and more. Finn Bennett and Lukita Maxwell also star in the film.
Backrooms is the debut film from director Parsons, who came to prominence via a series of wildly popular YouTube videos exploring a similar premise, most of the videos garnering millions of views apiece.
His most popular video, simply titled The Backrooms (Found Footage), has accumulated more than 81 million views since it was shared on Jan. 7, 2022.

Anna Kendrick is directing the new film The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo.
The actress and director is set to helm the film adaptation of the bestselling Taylor Jenkins Reid novel for Netflix, ABC Audio has confirmed.
Kendrick will direct from a script written by Little Fires Everywhere scribe Liz Tigelaar, with current revisions by Francesca Sloane. Reid is executive producing the film.
The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo follows "a young journalist’s long-awaited interview with Evelyn Hugo, an aging Hollywood starlet, who pulls back the curtain on her seven marriages. As she tells tales of Hollywood scandals, betrayals, and woe, she unveils shocking truths about her own life and the lives of everyone around her," according to an official description from Netflix.
At this time, none of the film's roles have been cast. Netflix says the adaptation is getting ready to enter production and that fans should stay tuned for more soon.
This marks Kendrick's second time directing a film for Netflix, after her 2023 directorial debut crime thriller Woman of the Hour.
The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo was published in 2017. Netflix first announced plans to adapt the novel for its streaming service back in March 2022.
Reid's novel Daisy Jones & The Six was previously adapted into a limited TV series for Prime Video. It released in 2023, and starred Riley Keough and Sam Claflin.
Taylor Swift, 'I Knew It, I Knew You' from 'Toy Story 5' (Walt Disney Records)
It's official: Taylor Swift is joining Woody, Buzz and the gang in Toy Story 5.
She's written and recorded a song for the film called "I Knew It, I Knew You." You can preorder the single now from her website; it's set to ship on or around June 19, which is when the film hits theaters. However, the singles are only available until Wednesday at 1:59 p.m. ET or while supplies last.
There are three different versions of the song available: the standard version, a piano version and an acoustic version. All are available as CD singles with different artwork. The song itself will be out on Friday.
Taylor wrote on Instagram, "You knew it! My new original song 'I Knew It, I Knew You' for Disney and @pixar’s @toystory 5 will be yours on June 5th. I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie."
She continues, "I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right?"
According to a press release, the song is inspired by the journey of Toy Story character Jessie and "marks a return to Taylor's country roots." Director and screenwriter Andrew Stanton said in a statement, "[Taylor's] connection to Jessie and the immediate way she understood what the character was going through was undeniable."
As previously reported, fans first suspected Taylor was involved in the film on April 30, when she posted — and then removed — a Toy Story-coded countdown on her website.

Brendan Fraser as General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Andrew Scott as Captain James Stagg in 'Pressure.' (Alex Bailey/Focus Features/STUDIOCANAL)
We all know bad weather has the power to wreck plans, but it's a little different when those plans involve the most pivotal operation in World War II.
The new film Pressure, out Friday, recounts this little-known piece of WWII history.
Andrew Scott stars as Capt. James Stagg, the meteorologist tasked with forecasting the weather for D-Day. When he realizes that a storm is on its way to derail the Allied Forces’ plans for the massive seaborne invasion, he must deliver the bad news to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, played by Oscar winner Brendan Fraser. Together, they need to find a way forward or risk losing the war — and with just 72 hours to make a crucial decision, the pressure is a lot more than barometric.
“Who doesn't want Brendan Fraser yelling in your face?” Scott jokes of their tense scenes together.
“I love the fact that they're two quite formidable characters, but in very, very different ways, from very, very different cultures, who ultimately have a great deal of respect for each other, and a great deal of humility about their position in the world and what their duty is,” he tells ABC Audio.
Scott adds that it’s moving to see two people who wanted to do the right thing by the world rather than peacock their own achievements.
It was a quality Fraser came to admire about future U.S. president Eisenhower and how he ultimately humanized such an imposing historical figure for the film.
“The things that were important to me that I grew to admire about Eisenhower were his ability to listen to people rather than just hear them and also that he took accountability for the choices that he made,” Fraser says.

Andie MacDowell and Kevin Bacon are joining the Emily Henry rom-com universe.
The actors have joined the cast of the film adaptation of the bestselling novel Beach Read, ABC Audio has learned. They join Bridgerton actress Phoebe Dynevor and The White Lotus' Patrick Schwarzenegger, who are set to star in the film. Production will begin on the picture in June.
Beach Read follows the character January Andrews, a romance novelist who struggles with writer's block due to her grief after the death of her father and her discovery of the secrets he kept.
January spends the summer at her father's Michigan beach house as she prepares to sell it. While there, she reconnects with Gus Everett, a fellow author and her formal college rival. The pair spark an unexpected romance after they agree to partake in a writing challenge to get them out of their respective writing ruts.
Yulin Kuang, who co-wrote the Netflix film adaptation of Henry's novel People We Meet on Vacation, will direct Beach Read for 20th Century Studios from her own script.
This is the latest adaptation of one of Henry's works, following the Netflix release of People We Meet on Vacation in January. Three of her other novels — Book Lovers, Funny Story and Happy Place — are also currently being adapted for the screen.

As fans of Love Island USA anxiously wait for the season 8 cast to be revealed, the Peacock series has asked its viewers to be kind on social media.
The statement, which Love Island USA released to its Instagram on Wednesday, comes ahead of the season 8 premiere on June 2.
"The Villa runs on good vibes, and so does this community. We love seeing your reactions, opinions, and debates, but everyone deserves to feel safe and respected," the statement reads. "This is a space for fun, not negativity — so keep it kind, keep it positive, and remember: this is LOVE Island!"
Love Island USA season 8 will once again take place in Fiji, with Ariana Madix returning as host.
The series follows singles who go on a search for love while living in a Fijian villa. "Throughout their stay in a tropical oasis, Islanders will couple up to face brand new heart-racing challenges and bigger twists and turns than ever before," according to season 7's official synopsis. "Temptations rise and drama ensues as new 'bombshells' arrive, forcing Islanders to decide if they want to remain with their current partners or recouple with someone new."
Its companion series, Love Island USA Aftersun, recently gained two new hosts. As previously reported, Summer House star Ciara Miller will host the reality dating competition series' aftershow alongside Tefi Pessoa. They take over from The Traitors star Maura Higgins. Coincidently, Higgins and Miller are confirmed to be competing against each other on the upcoming season 35 of Dancing with the Stars.
The actor is set to executive produce and star in an Angel Heart series for HBO and A24, ABC Audio has confirmed.
Angel Heart will be a one-hour drama written and executive produced by Black Rabbit creator Zach Baylin. The show will be based on the 1978 horror novel Falling Angel, which was previously adapted into the Mickey Rourke and Robert De Niro film Angel Heart in 1987, as well as its sequel, Angel’s Inferno. Shōgun's Jonathan Van Tulleken is set to direct and executive produce.
According to its logline, this new series follows a "down-and-out NYC paparazzi, who makes his living finding and photographing people who don’t want to be found."
He is eventually "hired by a mysterious man to find a missing woman. But the deeper he digs to find her, the more it looks like a group of powerful elites, and maybe something supernatural, are covering up the disappearance,” the logline continues.
Efron previously worked with A24 on the 2023 sports drama film The Iron Claw. He is set to appear in the upcoming thriller Famous from director Jody Hill. He'll also star alongside Will Ferrell in the new movie Judgment Day from director Nicholas Stoller.

Asif Ali and Saagar Shaikh in 'Deli Boys.' (James Washington/Disney)
Deli Boys is back for more.
The Hulu comedy series has returned for season 2. The show follows two Pakistani-American brothers who lose everything when their convenience store-magnate father suddenly dies. They're forced to reckon with their father's secret double life in the crime world as they try to take up his mantle.
Saagar Shaikh and Asif Ali star as Raj Dar and Mir Dar in the series. Season 1 ended with the brothers uncovering who was responsible for their father's death. The actors told ABC Audio what fans can expect in the aftermath of that discovery throughout season 2.
Ali says Mir "has the confidence of whatever his plan is for the business."
"He's using that to do whatever it takes to make sure that the business is secure. But the recklessness is in his lack of consideration for the family," Ali said. "He's foregoing his personal life and everyone in the interest of making sure that DarCo is #1."
As for Raj, Shaikh says "he's trying to get back to the person he used to be" in the wake of learning Ahmad (Brian George) was responsible for his father's death.
"But in order to get there, he has to finish this guy off, because this guy is living rent-free in his mind. And he can't be the vibes guy if this guy is always on Raj's mind," Shaikh tells ABC Audio.
As for how season 2 differs from season 1, Shaik says it's faster and punchier this time around. Ali agrees, saying, "You're just right into the roller coaster and it just doesn't let up until the end."
All six episodes of Deli Boys season 2 are available to watch on Hulu now.

Matthew Perry's live-in assistant was sentenced on Wednesday to nearly 3 1/2 years in prison for administering the dose of ketamine that killed the Friends actor in 2023.
Kenneth Iwamasa, 61, is one of five people charged and convicted in what federal prosecutors called a conspiracy to illegally distribute ketamine to Perry. The assistant pleaded guilty in August 2024 to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine resulting in death.
U.S. District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett sentenced him to 41 months in prison and fined him $10,000, the Department of Justice said.
Prosecutors said Iwamasa, the final defendant to be sentenced in the case, injected Perry with ketamine repeatedly in the weeks before the actor's death without proper medical training — including the fatal dose on Oct. 28, 2023.
"When defendant Kenneth Iwamasa was hired as Matthew Perry's live-in personal assistant, he was acutely aware that Mr. Perry had suffered from drug addiction for most of his life. But rather than help Mr. Perry maintain sobriety, defendant became his enabler and drug supplier," prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memorandum ahead of Wednesday's sentencing hearing in Los Angeles federal court. "As defendant injected more and more ketamine into Mr. Perry, he saw — and was the only person to see — clear warning signs that Mr. Perry was in danger."
Prosecutors said Iwamasa found Perry unconscious inside his home at least two times in October 2023, as well as seeing him "freeze up" after a large injection, but, "ignoring these warnings," continued to inject him with illicit ketamine.
In the days leading up to Perry's death, Iwamasa injected him with "significant quantities of ketamine," prosecutors wrote. On the day Perry fatally overdosed, Iwamasa injected him with two doses before Perry asked him to prepare the jacuzzi and to "shoot me up a big one," prosecutors wrote.
Soon after administering the third dose, Iwamasa left to run errands for Perry and, upon returning, found him dead, face down in the jacuzzi, according to prosecutors.
Following Perry's death, Iwamasa "continued his wrongdoing by destroying evidence and taking other steps to cover his tracks and obstruct justice," prosecutors wrote. They allege he cleaned up ketamine bottles and syringes from the scene and omitted ketamine from the list of Perry's medications while being questioned by officers after calling 911.
Iwamasa ultimately provided "significant cooperation" in the government's investigation, including information on other defendants, prosecutors said while asking for 41 months of imprisonment.
In response to the government's sentencing memo, defense attorneys argued that Iwamasa did not abuse his "trusted position," saying he was an employee and "acted at all relevant times at the victim's direction rather than pursuant to his own discretion."
"Perhaps Defendant's employment relationship with the victim enabled him to more readily participate in the conspiracy to distribute drugs to the victim than a man on the street, but it should be noted that a number of proverbial men on the street did in fact participate in the same conspiracy," they wrote. "Multiple third parties were involved who did not share the same relationship with the victim. That fact alone should overcome the inference that it was Defendant's particular relationship with the victim that facilitated the crime."
Prosecutors said Iwamasa worked with two doctors to obtain ketamine for Perry, before turning to two dealers to obtain dozens of vials of ketamine, including the doses that killed the actor.
Iwamasa had known Perry since around 1992 before becoming his live-in assistant in 2022 for $150,000 a year, according to prosecutors. His responsibilities included those related to Perry's medical care, they said.
In a victim impact statement filed ahead of the sentencing, Perry's mother said the family was relieved when Perry took on an assistant whom she said understood the actor's battles with drug addiction, and that they all trusted Iwamasa.
"Kenny's most important job — by far — was to be my son's companion and guardian in his fight against addiction. His number one responsibility — ensure that Matthew remained what he wanted to be: drug free," she wrote. "Kenny knew, should he feel unduly pressured, that with one phone call to any number of the people in Matthew's orbit, reinforcements would be on the way, and his job would be safe."
"But instead of protecting Matthew, he aided and abetted illegal drug taking, arranged for one source of supply, then another. Shot the drugs into Matthew's body though he was not in the least qualified," she continued. "He did it even though he could see, anyone could have seen, it was so obviously dangerous. And he did it again and again."
Iwamasa is the fifth and final defendant in the case to be sentenced in the scheme to illegally distribute ketamine to Perry.
Prosecutors said Jasveen Sangha, reportedly known as the "Ketamine Queen," worked with Erik Fleming to distribute 51 vials of her ketamine to Iwamasa, including the doses that killed Perry.
Sangha was sentenced last month to 15 years in prison. She pleaded guilty last year to one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distribution of ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury.
Fleming was sentenced earlier this month to two years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death.
The two doctors convicted in the case were sentenced last year.
Mark Chavez, who once ran a ketamine clinic, admitted to selling fraudulently obtained ketamine to Salvador Plasencia, who briefly treated Perry, which was then sold to the actor in the weeks before his death.
Chavez pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and was sentenced to eight months of home confinement in December 2025.
Plasencia pleaded guilty to four counts of distribution of ketamine and was sentenced to 30 months in prison in December 2025.
Emily Blunt in 'Disclosure Day,' directed by Steven Spielberg. (Niko Tavernise/Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment)
The final trailer for Steven Spielberg's film Disclosure Day has arrived.
Universal Pictures released the final trailer for the new, original event film on Thursday. It returns Spielberg to his extraterrestrial roots.
Josh O'Connor, Emily Blunt, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson and Colman Domingo star in the thriller, which is based on a story by Spielberg.
Spielberg is the top-grossing director of all time. He previously explored stories about extraterrestrial life in the films E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and War of the Worlds.
The trailer starts with Spielberg doing a direct-to-camera address.
"I am much more inclined now than I was when I made Close Encounters to really believe that we're not the only intelligent civilization in the universe," Spielberg says, before footage from the film kicks in.
O'Connor's character, Daniel Kellner, then admits he has stolen long-kept government secrets about proof of living beings not on Earth.
Spielberg continues, saying, "This is a story about us. All of us, up against the most extraordinary event in human history."
David Koepp, the writer of Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, wrote the screenplay for this new movie.

According to Netflix, "adventure chases detective Enola Holmes to Malta, where personal and professional dreams collide in a case more tangled and treacherous than any she has faced before."
The trailer teases just exactly what the treacherous case is. We first see Tewkesbury propose, as well as Enola's direct-to-camera address reaction it: "Yes, I was surprised, too," she says.
Afterward, Enola, while en route to the church wearing her white gown, is informed that her brother Sherlock has been kidnapped. She inadvertently leaves Tewkesbury at the alter by himself, seemingly missing her own wedding ceremony.
Philip Barantini directed Enola Holmes 3 from a script by Jack Thorne, which is based on The Enola Holmes Mysteries by Nancy Springer.
In addition to starring, Brown produces the film while her husband, Jake Bongiovi, executive produces.
Enola Holmes 3 will make its streaming debut on July 1.
Robert Pattinson appears as Chis Hansen on the poster for the film 'Primetime.' (A24)
Robert Pattinson stars in the official teaser trailer for Primetime.
A24 released the first trailer for the upcoming drama-thriller film on Wednesday. The minute-long first look at the film finds Pattinson in character as Chris Hansen, the host of To Catch a Predator.
The film comes from Lance Oppenheim, who directs from a script by Ajon Singh. Along with Pattinson, the movie stars Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo, Matthew Maher and Bokeem Woodbine.
Its official logline reads, "In 2006, To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen sets out to make television history." In a similar vein, the film's poster includes the tagline, "Are you ready to make television history?"
The trailer for Primetime features hidden camera footage, as well as glimpses of Pattinson in character as Hansen. We also hear Pattinson's impression of the host, as he says, "What would have happened if I wasn't here? You see how this looks, right? At the end of the day, a man must be held accountable for the decisions that he makes. Do you agree?"
His voice-over impression continues, with him saying, "Do you watch television? Well, there's something you should know. I'm Chris Hansen, with Dateline NBC. And you're about to be a part of television history."
The trailer ends with a different voice saying, "We're going to be the #1 show on TV."
To Catch a Predator ran from 2004 to 2007 on NBC. It aired only 20 episodes, but was massively popular at the time.
While an official release date has yet to be announced, A24 says the movie is coming soon.
