Obsession weekend 4 ($25.6M) is coming in just a hair behind Backrooms weekend 2 ($25.9M), with a drop of just 7 percent

[Aaron Couch @AaronCouch]

In its fourth weekend, Obsession will finally fall -- but just 9 percent, with a projected $24.8M weekend. That's still a bigger gross than weekends 1 and 2. Backrooms expected to drop 69 percent, but that's after doing strong business during the week
