"Backrooms" Cast Confusion: Star Clears Air on Instagram
3 Jun
Summary
- Ivy Wolk clarified her absence from the "Backrooms" movie cast.
- Letterboxd incorrectly listed Wolk due to data from The Movie Database.
- The "Backrooms" film achieved significant box office success over the weekend.
Actress Ivy Wolk has officially denied any involvement in the viral horror film "Backrooms." Wolk took to Instagram Stories on Tuesday to address her incorrect listing on Letterboxd, a popular movie social media platform. The platform had attributed a role to her in the film, titled "Inbred Still Life," a designation Wolk stated she did not recognize and found inexplicable.
The error appears to stem from Letterboxd's data aggregation, which relies on The Movie Database (TMDb). TMDb, like Wikipedia, crowdsources its information, making it susceptible to user-generated inaccuracies, a phenomenon previously observed with "Backrooms"' official poster selections.
"Backrooms" refers to humanoid organisms found within the film's seemingly infinite liminal spaces, originating from YouTube short films. One such entity serves as the primary antagonist. The film debuted strongly at the box office, amassing $118 million worldwide and $81.4 million domestically in its opening weekend, outperforming previous top contenders.
This box office performance saw "Backrooms" claim the top spot, overshadowing other films like "The Mandalorian and Grogu" and "Obsession." The film's success highlights its significant cultural impact and audience draw since its release.
