Success is thriving for online creators following the achievements of two horror films, “Obsession” and “Backrooms.” Described as a “feeding frenzy” by an industry executive, these movies demonstrate the potential for smaller players to compete against major studios.
Both films premiered in May and quickly captured the attention of global audiences. The impressive combined earnings of more than $870 million illustrate their popularity. These films have elevated Gen Z filmmakers to desirable status within the film industry.
The considerable reception of “Obsession” and “Backrooms” suggests that original content can thrive in a market heavy with billion-dollar productions. Their unexpected financial success has sent Hollywood into a state of urgency, reconsidering project investments and talent recruitment strategies.
