HOLLYWOOD JUST LOST TO YOUTUBE
This weekend three movies made by YouTube creators landed in the domestic top 5 at the same time.
None of them came from a studio pipeline. All of them came from the internet.
- Obsession cost $750,000 and is passing $150 million domestic to become Focus Features' biggest film ever
- Backrooms cost $10 million and has already hit $134 million domestic as A24's biggest film ever
- Masters of the Universe cost a reported $200 million and opened to just $31 million
- Obsession and Backrooms combined cost less than the catering on most blockbusters
The barrier between a webcam and the box office just stopped existing.
