I've covered box office results literally hundreds of times in my career. The mind-blowing success of "Backrooms" and "Obsession" this weekend easily ranks in the top 1% as far as long-term significance for the movie business.

@Variety “…upending conventional wisdom about the necessary components for a hit.”
What are the “necessary components” for a hit:
1. Original, well written script.
2. Good actors.
3. Good director & crew.
4. No Fucking Marxist Identity Politics
