I haven't seen it I just enjoy the narrative of having a interesting idea and seeing it through to fame and fortune.
I checked the Youtubes and the basic premis is creepiness over scariness Not unlike the Blair Witch Project . . .this is the 2026 version Rocket River
This and Obsession are making waves with the profit they got from absolutely low budgets to make these
These two movies and Iron Lung are going to spur a huge wave of YouTube creator to big screen/Television content. The key thing to understand about these successes isn’t that they made a lot of money, it’s that younger generations are showing up much more for these movies. For Backrooms, Gen Z had a 44% attendance rate, where it was 25% for Mandalorian. That’s a 57% difference. That’s huge. I think something like 75% of the audience for Backrooms was under 35. Mind blowing. The formula is easy: look for well fleshed out YouTube channels with millions of viewers and pay the creators to make big screen versions. Automatic built-in audience and millions of test screens. Probably the best thing to happen to Hollywood in a long, long time. If you b**** about endless reboots and sequels, this is for you. That is, if you can wrap your head around things that younger generations enjoy.
This. Honestly it sounds pleasant. No employees or coworkers or clients. No son or wife or girlfriend needing something from me No loud videos or distractions. Me - alone for awhile in an empty and quiet building sounds amazing. Maybe every Thursday between like 2 pm and 4 pm.
