I'm surprised too, also how relatively low their other succesful movies have earned globally, considering they continuously churn out high quality movies.

On a global basis, with north of $136M, Backrooms is poised to topple A24’s multi-Oscar winner Everything Everywhere All at Once ($148M) as their second highest grossing movie. Marty Supreme currently reigns as A24’s highest grossing movie ever with $191.3M worldwide — but that could ultimately change very soon as Backrooms continues to hoard cash.

Really crazy to me that’s all the money EEAAO made. It was such a praised movie that I assumed it did better. Part of me is sad A24 doesn’t make more money, but it also goes to show that you don’t always need a ton of money for good ideas.
