Backrooms
A24
There is a debate going on right now about whether an unrated upload of Obsession has a few seconds of new footage or not after today’s VOD release (it apparently does not), but Backrooms, the other enormous horror hit of 2026, is doing something way, way different in terms of adding more to the film.
It’s just been announced that a new version of Backrooms is heading to theaters over Fourth of July weekend, even as the “normal” version is still playing now. It’s called Backrooms: Everything Must Go Edition, which, at least to some extent, sounds like a Director’s Cut. It will feature a “theatrically exclusive” post-credit scene and 15 more minutes of footage, bringing the movie to 2 hours and 6 minutes.
The idea is to keep squeezing money out of Backrooms for as long as possible before its streaming VOD release, though the film has already grossed $330 million worldwide on a $10 million budget, making it both hugely profitable and A24’s biggest hit ever.
