Backrooms Extended Cut Coming to Theaters with 15 Minutes of

Backrooms is getting an extended cut very soon, and it's coming to theaters.

Backrooms is set to receive an extended cut in theaters, with listings already appearing in chains like AMC Theatres for the 'Everything Must Go Edition.' This new version will include an extra 15 minutes of footage, labeled as 'theatrically exclusive,' to be shown post-credits, maintaining the original film's structure. The release date for this extended cut is scheduled for July 3.

While the content of the additional footage remains a mystery, fans of Backrooms can anticipate a pleasant surprise. This move mirrors similar strategies seen in other films like Spider-Man: No Way Home and Avengers: Endgame, which aimed to enhance box office performance. Director Kane Parsons is also contemplating a sequel to Backrooms and a potential adaptation of Valve's Portal game, hinting at exciting projects in the pipeline.

Unlike a director's cut that can significantly alter a film's narrative, these extended versions typically consist of deleted scenes without substantial impact on the original storyline. A24's decision to release this extended cut could be viewed as a competitive response to Obsession's successful box office run. Meanwhile, Avengers: Endgame is gearing up for another re-release later this year, featuring additional footage linking to Avengers: Doomsday.
