Overview
- The film will debut on HBO Max in the U.S. on Sept. 25 with a linear HBO airing the next day, Sept. 26 at 8:00 p.m. ET, according to multiple outlets.
- Backrooms has become A24’s highest-grossing title and has earned reported worldwide totals in the high hundreds of millions, with Deadline citing $396.5 million and other outlets reporting figures around $330 million.
- The streaming date closes a roughly 119-day theatrical-to-streaming window after the film’s theatrical re-release and a July 14 digital rental launch.
- Director Kane Parsons adapted the feature from his viral Backrooms web series and has said he plans to expand the property beyond this film; the picture also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve and was produced with backing from Blumhouse, James Wan, Chernin and others.
- It is not yet clear which version of the film HBO Max will carry, and some coverage notes the 15-minute extended footage from the July re-release remains available separately on YouTube rather than confirmed as part of the streaming edition.
