Backrooms, the surprise hit of the summer, wants you back in the room. And by room, we mean theater. Its distributor, A24, is reportedly gearing up to release a new version of the film with 15 extra minutes of footage starting on July 3.
According to the AMC Theaters website, the Backrooms: Everything Must Go Edition “includes 15 minutes of new, theatrically exclusive post-credit bonus footage from [director] Kane Parsons.”
What exactly is in that footage, we don’t know, and surely A24 is hoping you go to the theater to find out. We would be very, very surprised, though, if it expands too greatly on the mythology of the world or its creepy, ambiguous ending. That’s certainly the hope, but with a sequel almost certainly on the way, we’d imagine most secrets will be held until then. And yet, what about Backrooms has been traditional so far? We’re just speculating. It could very well be a whole new ending with twists and turns about what exactly the backrooms are, where they came from, and what their purpose is.
The move comes as the summer season really heats up with the upcoming releases of Minions & Monsters, The Odyssey, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day over the next few weeks. Currently, Backrooms sits at about $185 million domestically but grossed only about $4 million this past weekend, good enough for sixth place.
Adding additional footage to get a few more repeat viewings is probably aimed at crossing the $200 million mark domestically, which would be an incredible feat. Not that grossing over $185 million in the U.S. and over $330 million worldwide isn’t already an incredible feat on its own.
Are you ready to head back to the theater to see more Backrooms? Is there anything that could be added that would be a disappointment? Let us know below. And to check if the Backrooms: Everything Must Go Edition is coming to your local theater, check its ticketing website.

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has faced heavy scrutiny in the last two weeks. The cuts given to Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai and Bandar were criticized. Meanwhile, CBFC asked for cuts in two crucial scenes in Obsession and it led to a huge uproar on social media which continued for many days. Meanwhile, this week, the CBFC has sprung a pleasant surprise by passing three crucial films with zero cuts.


The Kangana Ranaut-starrer Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, based on the 26/11 terror attacks, was passed with a U/A 16+ rating on May 29. Despite a thriller film with violent scenes, the CBFC’s Examining Committee (EC) found no reason to ask for any cuts.
The length of Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 127.13 minutes. In other words, the film is 2 hours, 7 minutes and 13 seconds long.
Vikram Bhatt returns with Haunted – Echoes Of The Past this week. Like Haunted (2011), this horror film will also be released in 3D. It has been rated ‘A’ and usually, such films are peppered with intimate and horrifying scenes that face scissor cuts.
However, Haunted – Echoes Of The Past is an exception and hasn’t faced any visual or audio cut. The length of the Mimoh Chakraborty-starrer, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 138.54 minutes. In other words, the film is 2 hours, 18 minutes and 54 seconds long. It was passed by the CBFC yesterday, on June 9.
Finally, Backrooms was given an ‘A’ rating by the CBFC on June 8 with no cuts. The length of the film, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 110.54 minutes. In other words, the sci-fi psychological horror Hollywood flick is 1 hour, 50 minutes and 54 seconds long.
There’s some curiosity to see Backrooms as, like Obsession, it has emerged as a sleeper blockbuster. However, viewers are expected to watch the film before being jubilant about no-cuts. This is because there’s a fear that the studio may have voluntarily blurred or removed certain disturbing shots before submitting the film to the CBFC.
