It’s too hot out, so go sit in a dark room for two hours watching one of the year’s best films<\/p>\n

Backrooms is one of 2026’s best films and, with more than $330 million made at the box office, it has become A24’s highest-grossing film<\/a> to date. If you’ve yet to check it out yet, the wait has paid off: A24 will release an extended version of Backrooms in theaters on July 3.<\/p>\n

Backrooms: Everything Must Go Edition includes 15 minutes of “theatrically exclusive” footage, implying you won’t be able to see the new footage when Backrooms starts streaming<\/a> or when it gets released on disc. Instead of deleted or extended scenes being inserted throughout the film, the extended edition will include “post-credit bonus footage from Kane Parsons.” It’ll run for just over two hours.<\/p>\n

The AMC listing for Backrooms: Everything Must Go Edition<\/a> doesn’t state how long the extended version will play in theaters for. At least for one AMC near me in New York City, I see showtimes through Tuesday, July 9.<\/p>\n

Backrooms, based on a series of YouTube videos inspired by an old creepypasta<\/a>, has become a horror sensation. It’s the second-highest-grossing horror film of the year (behind Obsession<\/a>). With its re-release, it will likely eclipse the latest Star Wars film<\/a> in terms of box office revenue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We called Backrooms “the best horror movie since Weapons” when reviewing it<\/a>. Polygon chatted with director Kane Parson, who just turned 21 (and can now legally pop a bottle of champagne to toast to the film’s success) about potential sequels<\/a>, the film’s ending<\/a>, and all those dead birds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Already seen Backrooms (and Obsession<\/a>) and are looking for your next spooky watch? Have we got a list for you, friend<\/a>.<\/p>\n
