Not only is the Backrooms movie really good<\/a>, it’s also extremely successful. In its first weekend in theaters it destroyed the record for the best A24 release ever and earned nearly $120 million worldwide at the box office.<\/p>\n

That bodes well for fans who were left wanting more after the movie’s ambiguous ending, because director Kane Parsons says he isn’t done with Backrooms yet. His film adaptation of his YouTube series wasn’t the end of the story, Parsons told Variety<\/a>, and while he hasn’t officially confirmed that a film sequel is planned, there is still more to come.<\/p>\n

“For people who are into it, I’ve got a contract, and I got a hold at my end,” Parsons said, “and that means I am definitely not done with Backrooms.”<\/p>\n

That could mean a sequel to the film is likely, but it sounds like Parsons might also return to the Backrooms YouTube videos that enthralled so many viewers in the first place.<\/p>\n

“I don’t want to leave YouTube behind. I immensely enjoy the work I’ve done there, and I feel creatively fulfilled by it in a way that’s proportional to what I’ve done with this film,” Parsons said. <\/p>\n
