Summer’s biggest box office winner? A comedy spoof, not a blockbuster. “Scary Movie” crushed it with $55 million, dethroning “Masters of the Universe” and smashing its own franchise record with $105.5 million globally. While indie horror gems like “Backrooms” and “Obsession” (both YouTube-born) kept dominating, “Scary Movie”’s surprise success proves audiences crave laughs over hype — even if critics barely liked it. Meanwhile, “Backrooms” hit A24’s all-time record with $212 million, and “Obsession” shows no signs of fading. Overall, the box office is surging — and the unexpected keeps winning.
