Brendan Fraser’s WWII Thriller Breaks Through a Horror-Dominated Box Office

Brendan Fraser's WWII Thriller Breaks Through a Horror-Dominated Box Office




In a textbook counter-programming move this weekend, a period drama aimed at older audiences delivered a top-10 debut at a domestic marketplace dominated by blockbusters for Gen Z crowds. This past weekend, the holdover horror blockbuster Obsession delivered its second successive revenue uptick and passed the coveted $100 million mark at the domestic box office. Its trajectory has been unprecedented, and it's safe to say that the microbudget sensation is one of the greatest box-office success stories of the modern era. It was joined this weekend by fellow horror title Backrooms, which shattered expectations and broke numerous records in its debut frame. Also directed by a man in his 20s who honed his skills on YouTube before leaping to feature filmmaking, Backrooms delivered a grand debut in the same league as Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimerand Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two.
