Business is thriving for online creators following the success of the films “Obsession” and “Backrooms.” A prominent executive described the situation as a “feeding frenzy.” The success of these films, both released in May, highlights how smaller creators can compete in a landscape typically dominated by massive, billion-dollar entities.
The popularity of “Obsession” and “Backrooms” demonstrates the power of modestly budgeted horror films. Both movies not only captivated audiences with their scares but also caused a significant stir in Hollywood. Together, they accumulated a staggering $870 million in global box office revenue.
This financial triumph has propelled Gen Z filmmakers into the spotlight. Practically overnight, these creators have become some of the most desired talents in the industry, showcasing the potential for newcomers to make a substantial impact in the film market.
