A horror movie with a budget of $0 has topped the box office in the US.
Unsubscribed has made over $25,000 in a day, and it comes as the filming of various high-budget horror movies including A Quiet Place: Part II and Black Widow have been postponed as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
This is something that actor and YouTuber Eric Tabach, alongside filmmaker Christian Nilsson, decided to capitalize on.
They created the film Unsubscribed in just five days. It's a 29-minute horror movie shot entirely on Zoom and it starred Netflix's Ozark actor Charlie Tahan, a.k.a. Wyatt Langmore.

As if that wasn't already crazy enough, Unsubscribed was screened in just one cinema.
According to Box Office Mojo, Unsubscribed was at the top of the US Box Office on June 10, beating other movies including Becky and The Wretched.
How did they do it? We hear you ask. Let us explain.
Tabach and Nilsson used a sales technique known as "four-walling", which capitalized on the fact that their film was shown in just one cinema.

Tabach told BBC News: "Four-walling is when distributors rent out a movie theatre and buy all the seats. So they pay a flat fee to the theatre, and any money they make off seats goes straight into their pockets. The moment we realized that was an option of distribution, we went for it.
"I noticed that the box office figures were absurd; $9,000, $15,000 for each movie. Nothing big was coming out. Blockbuster films were on hold. I wanted to find a way to get the biggest number."
Tabach and Nilsson watching their own movie in the theatre, all while topping the box office and turning a pretty hefty profit on their nonexistent budget.
