Backrooms Explodes While Horror Dominates the Box Office

Horror movies are dominating theaters as Backrooms becomes one of the biggest surprises of the year on this week’s FlickRadio Movie Talk with Guy T. Wehman, Allison Rose, and Stephen Leibowitz. The team breaks down the incredible success of Backrooms and Obsession, two low-budget horror films that are outperforming major studio releases and proving once again that word of mouth can still drive audiences to theaters. The conversation also covers the continued struggles of The Mandalorian and Grogu, the upcoming release of Masters of the Universe, the return of the Scary Movie franchise, and other new releases, including Power Ballads and The Passenger. Along the way, the crew discusses Hollywood expectations, franchise fatigue, horror's remarkable return on investment, and why some films find audiences while others never quite connect. Plus, the episode wraps up with classic movie picks including E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Mulan, and Romancing the Stone. It's another entertaining mix of box office analysis, movie reviews, industry discussion, and classic film appreciation, only on FlickRadio. Listen to more episodes at FlickRadio.net.
