LOS ANGELES, United States – Independent horror films "Backrooms" and "Obsession" have topped the global box office, surpassing the latest installment of the long-running "Star Wars" franchise on opening weekend, according to industry data. Both projects were directed and produced by independent, social media–native creators, marking the first time such productions have held the top two positions worldwide at the same time. Twenty-year-old filmmaker Kane Parsons, who first gained recognition on YouTube, directed "Backrooms," which analysts cite as the biggest opening ever for an original horror film and the first number-one global release by a director of his age. The strong performance of "Backrooms" and "Obsession" has drawn attention from studio executives, market analysts and trade publications such as the Hollywood Reporter, which describe the outcome as unprecedented in recent box office history. Observers say the results indicate a shift in audience preferences away from traditional studio tentpoles toward projects developed by online creators and expanded into theatrical features. Parsons has discussed his creative process in recent media interviews, emphasizing his roots in digital content and stating that he does not plan to rely on artificial intelligence tools in his filmmaking. Industry analysts are examining how these creator-led horror titles, built on existing digital followings, may influence future production, marketing and distribution strategies for independent films.
