A24 found itself with another big hit thanks to Backrooms. The film from director Kane Parsons took this infamous creepypasta tale and brought it to the big screen. We followed a furniture store owner who discovered some seriously creepy liminal spaces in the store’s basement, and we really enjoyed the journey. Backrooms came out at the end of May 2026, but there’s already a re-release hitting theaters less than two months later in July with 15 more minutes of footage.
According to Variety, this version of the film is cleverly titled Backrooms: Everything Must Go Edition and will have a “theatrically exclusive post-credit.” Very interesting, indeed. It appears that the Backrooms re-release will come to AMC theaters but it is not clear if that’s true for other big names like Regal. If it doesn’t come to a theater near you, hopefully that footage will appear as a special feature on a future 4K UHD release.
This may seem like a wild choice, but when you spend a cool $10 million on a film and it makes $330 million globally, you’d want to find ways to keep it in theaters, too. If there’s footage that fans haven’t seen yet, they might want to go back to the movies and check it out. Backrooms: Everything Must Go Edition will arrive at theaters just in time for the holiday weekend on July 3 for an unspecified amount of time.
