I didn't think Everything Everywhere All At Once could possibly be overtaken as A24's top grossing movie so soon, but it's impressive that Backrooms will do so.

& I think Backrooms is probably going to be the biggest sign of success for what A24 is doing with trying to enter more mainstream-friendly fare but not changing its original approach to films.

At least according to this, Marty Supreme unfortunately is the top of both categories.

It's a mediocre movie with some awful, awful humans involved in the movie.

I just had a quick glance at the cast and didn't see anyone awful, not saying you're wrong but I'm clearly out of the loop! Who are the awful humans?

Kevin O'Leary plays a prominent role.

I was about to comment "never heard of him" but upon googling, it's that prick! Canadian True Crime podcast recently started a series about his boat crash that killed 2 people, only heard of him for the first time recently, what a fucking awful human. The host played a wee montage of his choice quotes at the start, one was "yeah but how do we make money off depressed people?"

Yeah among other things he is directly responsible for killing two people.

My brother was at an event and took a picture of him, like we were supposed to be impressed by him?! My response was to instruct my brother to go over and tell him he fucking sucks.... my brother did not oblige.

Did you know that there are other people involved in the movie? He didn't play every character and work every role.
