Horror films directed by young creators from YouTube and TikTok are reshaping the summer box office, with Kane Parsons’ Backrooms and Curry Barker’s Obsession delivering strong openings.

Toy Story 5 has opened to record franchise returns, grossing roughly $312m worldwide and dominating ticket sales. Low‑budget horror films made by online creators — notably Obsession, Backrooms and Iron Lung — have posted surprise gains. By contrast, DCilms' Supergirl has underperformed, opening far below studio expectations and drawing poor reviews.
Supergirl has opened to disappointing box office figures, prompting DC Studios to reassess its plans. Critics have praised Milly Alcock’s performance but criticize pacing, tone, and ambition. The film expands DCU’s reach with space-set adventures while raising questions about future direction and character use.
Comcast has announced a tax-free spin-off that will separate NBCUniversal and Sky into a standalone, publicly traded media company while leaving Comcast focused on broadband, wireless and business services. The company has said the separation will complete in about a year, executives told investors, and Comcast will initially keep up to 19.9% of the new media group.
The Minions & Monsters franchise continues to ride high on box office success, with Coffin defending its bridge to cinema history while the latest film tests whether silent era nostalgia can translate into new, daring storytelling.
