Original horror & younger audiences are dominating the box office. ‘Backrooms’ and ‘Obsession’ made over $100M collectively this weekend. Around 80% of those moviegoers were under 35.

Cinema etiquette is fucking dead. I've seen four films this week and every single theatre experience was the same: people whispering, phones going off, groups moving around in the middle of the film, loud noises... This isn't your home set up.
