Unexpected horror breakout hit Obsession is still proving hugely popular at the box office.
With a gross of $234.5 million globally, the film has broken into the top 10 highest grossing movies of 2026, coming in at number nine (Backrooms, another viral horror sensation, is at number 10).
Plus, Obsession has made it into IMDb’s ranking of the best movies ever, currently sitting in 248th place with a rating of 8.1 from 83 thousand viewers.
According to TheWrap, Obsession also made more domestically on its 25th day in theaters than Avengers: Endgame, The Force Awakens, or Spider-Man: No Way Home. The Star Wars movie made $3.1 million on its 25th day, while Endgame made $3.2 million, and Spider-Man: No Way Home made $2.4 million. In comparison, Obsession made $4.2 million (though, of course, in total, the Star Wars film and Endgame both grossed over $2 billion globally, while No Way Home made $1.9 billion worldwide).
Obsession revolves around a man named Bear who, after breaking the magical One Wish Willow, forces his crush Nikki to fall obsessively in love with him.
“Obviously I have a couple more things that I’m excited about next, but I do see Obsession 2 maybe, or even… What really is exciting to me [would be doing] an anthology, like a one-hour episode,” director Curry Barker previously told us. “Each episode is a different wish that goes completely off the rails. Maybe I’ll direct the pilot with the same DP, and then you could invite other filmmakers to give their spin at it. That would be really cool.”
