Commercial success of horror film Obsession

Overview

The low-budget horror-comedy ‘Obsession’, directed by Curry Barker and produced by Blumhouse, has achieved significant commercial success at the global box office.

Initially reported to have surpassed $100 million in revenue on a budget of less than $1 million, the film saw a 39% increase in revenue during its second weekend. The film’s success grew to become a global phenomenon, with box-office data later showing it surpassed $4 billion in worldwide ticket sales, making it the highest-grossing original horror movie of the century.

While the film received critical acclaim, including a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes, it was noted that its critical reception was eventually surpassed by Jane Schoenbrun’s ‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’, though the latter did not match the commercial scale of ‘Obsession’.
