Nah cause flipping $750k to $200M is wild 🤯

‘OBSESSION’ just officially surpassed $200M worldwide, transforming from a modestly budgeted production into a bona fide box office phenomenon. Audiences continue to show up in droves, the film is quickly carving out a place among the most profitable low budget releases ever.

🚨JUST IN: Victor Wembanyama took his teammates to see the movie "Obsession" to help them "wind down" after their Game 7 win over the Thunder, per @mikecwright

True news: Obsession will not be going to PVOD for a long, long time

[Jason Blum @jason_blum]

Christian Mercuri and his team at Capstone— unsung heroes of OBSESSION. Believed in Curry and the vision before anyone else. Financed and produced the film from day one, alongside Haley Nicole Johnson, James Harris, and a phenomenal team. EVERYONE part of this film should be very proud!!

[Captain Korea @ChristopherP_Oh]

@jason_blum Can we get some appreciation for Haley Johnson and Under the Shell? She was there every day of production and created one of the greatest work environments that myself and the rest of the crew have ever been a part of. None of this would have happened without her.

[Jeff Barker @JB_JeffBarker]

When everyone was making Obsession, we never dreamed we’d be talking about JAWS and STAR WARS.

[The Chosen One @KiDCuDi]

Just saw Obsession. Wow

You are witnessing HISTORY, folks!
The indie rebels took down the Disney Empire, as #Focus’ R-rated original horror #Obsession returns to #1 at US #BoxOffice!

YouTuber #CurryBarker grossed 5.6M on #2 BIGGEST 2nd WED of ALL TIME for horror, up incredible +74.3% from first TUE (vs #SINNERS 6.1M, -14.2%, #TheSixthSense’s 3.4M, -18.9%), despite adding just+40 theatres last FRI, now playing in just 2.655.

It hits a 73.5M cume in the US!

Don’t get shocked if the film ends up going up again on 3rd weekend, if it survives the blow from #Backrooms - and if #Focus resists the temptation of putting it on digital too soon.

The film itself had a ridiculously low under 1M production price tag, and #Focus paid only 15M to acquire the global distribution rights from producers (sans France, Russia, Australia & NZ).

Both sides seeing their investment paying off greatly.

100M+ mark coming this weekend already.

I’ll wait until the weekend to update projections depending on his hold against #Backrooms, but a 130M run which seemed the ceiling, might not even be the floor anymore. We might genuinely be looking at an unprecedented 200M+ here case if Focus plays their cards right. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, the weekend is right there. Stay tuned 👀

@Millexcel2 I don’t know where this narrative keeps coming from. We’re very thankful to Blumhouse and Focus for helping us reach this large audience and for pouring their heart and souls into the marketing campaign, but this film was signed, sealed, and delivered long before they heard of it

[Captain Korea @ChristopherP_Oh]

@Millexcel2 Absolute bullshit. Blumhouse had no creative input on this film. Focus had no creative input on this film. Curry Barker, Haley Johnson, Cooper Tomlinson, James Harris, Christian Mercuci, Taylor Clemons. Those are the people who made the film, along with my fellow department heads
