OBSESSION already knocked The Mandalorian and Grogu out of the #1 spot, and honestly? Good. Original movies beating recycled IP is the kind of plot twist Hollywood needs more of.

‘OBSESSION’ surpassed ‘THE MANDALORIAN & GROGU’ on Wednesday at the box office, retaking the #1 spot domestically.

@CharlesBosworth The horror comes from atmosphere and isolation. The idea of being trapped forever in an endless space can be unnerving for some people.

[Mark Hobin @Mark_Hobin]

BACKROOMS understands a fundamental truth of horror: the unknown is always scarier than the explanation. It forgets that rule by the end, but not before delivering one hell of a nightmare. My review: https://t.co/iu1re8g1KS

[Mark Hobin @Mark_Hobin]

@CharlesBosworth Yes.

@DougDugless The stuff involving Mark Duplass as a researcher sheds some light on the otherworldly environment.

Kane Parsons is officially the youngest director ever to have a #1 film at the domestic box office in its opening weekend.

He is only 20 years old.

This BACKROOMS poster by @noctrnlayouts (Alessandro Montalto) is better than any of the official movie posters. Consider me a fan.

Despite its anti-capitalist worldview, I LOVE BOOSTERS absolutely sells the joke.  And I'm buying…even if Boots Riley would prefer I steal it.

[Mark Hobin @Mark_Hobin]

@KeithandMovies @DiscussingFilm That's kind of the point. A midweek box office blip usually wouldn't be news unless the movie being displaced was once an untouchable franchise.

[Mark Hobin @Mark_Hobin]

I LOVE BOOSTERS may not sell its message, but it absolutely sells the joke. I laughed a lot, and that is what matters most. My review: https://t.co/JmInYa08iQ

THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU doesn't have the substance of the latest Star Wars movie. It's more like the background entertainment you'd see as you're waiting in line for the newly updated "Millennium Falcon" ride at Disneyland. My review: https://t.co/tnP6tQQ3Go

[Mark Hobin @Mark_Hobin]

"The Stars of Star Wars" episode of The Muppet Show is one of the very best of that series. THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU feels like an update, only with Sigourney Weaver and Pedro Pascal as the guest stars.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

‘THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU’ debuts at 58% on Rotten Tomatoes.

• First Star Wars movie in 7 years.

@DiscussingFilm The comments are “perfect.”

[Mark Hobin @Mark_Hobin]

THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU isn’t a terrible movie. Grogu’s cuteness can carry a 90-minute adventure. Unfortunately, the movie is 132 minutes.

[Mark Hobin @Mark_Hobin]

OBSESSION may not have me obsessed, but it absolutely held my attention. Director Curry Barker announces himself with a nifty horror film that is both macabre and very funny. My review: https://t.co/im5BuYaS9p

@FilmUpdates Each new report makes its success even more amazing: the opening weekend keeps going up while the reported budget keeps going down. Happy to see a little film like this break through.

Makes the Spotify app look like it’s constantly updating. I fall for it every single 🤬 time.

[Pop Crave @PopCrave]

Spotify unveils new logo.

[Mark Hobin @Mark_Hobin]

@Spotify @PopCrave Please make it sooner rather than later. The app looks like it’s constantly updating. I fall for it every single time.

REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES won't surprise many viewers, but as a gentle, easygoing Netflix drama, you could certainly do worse. My review: https://t.co/pLQMJNXF4O

IN THE GREY is the latest episode in Guy Ritchie's ongoing "Handsome Operatives Recover Money While Trading Witty One-Liners in Exotic Locations" cinematic universe. My review: https://t.co/JyvA9G0n7u
