AceShowbiz - The horror film Obsession has surpassed $300 million worldwide at the box office since its release on May 15, 2026, Superherohype reports. This impressive milestone comes after the movie, directed by young filmmaker Curry Barker, opened with $17 million during its debut weekend.

Deadline further confirms that Obsession has generated over $200 million domestically, accumulating approximately $201.6 million after 35 days in theaters. The film has maintained the number one spot at the box office for ten days and is now approaching the global lifetime total of $321.2 million set by The Conjuring. Deadline also details the film’s international rollout, noting release dates in Germany on June 25, Spain on June 26, Japan on July 17, and Korea on September 2.

Obsession was produced with a budget under one million dollars and directed by Barker, marking a notable achievement for the filmmaker. The movie’s success is highlighted by promising awards buzz, especially for actor Inde Navarrette, according to Deadline. The film’s production is distinct from the 2019 drama thriller of the same name directed by Goran Dukic, which starred Mekhi Phifer, Brad Dourif, and Ruben Santiago-Hudson.

This box office achievement underscores the continued audience appetite for horror films with modest budgets that deliver strong returns. Obsession is poised to challenge longstanding box office records in the genre and solidify its place as a breakout hit in 2026.
