Objects In Space

Blowing up my Twitter feed with random crap.

@edwardbrgr I really enjoyed the show and never understood the hate some gave it.

Instead of putting Trump’s mugshot on the $250 bill, it should be this

I don’t think a single person can be mad at this. This is kinda just objectively cool that they made a giant lex luthor armor and put an actor in it.

@MoviesMerica The disconnect is in the framing. People hear “possessed” and think demonic entity. That wasn’t the case. She was being controlled by the wish itself not an evil spirit.

The $750k everyone is dividing by isn't the number that actually made the money.

Curry Barker shot Obsession for $750k. Focus then paid around $14M to acquire it at TIFF, and a 2,600-theater wide release runs tens of millions more in prints and advertising. The real cost basis behind that $148M is closer to $50M than $750k.

Still one of the best trades in modern Hollywood. Just not the trade the post describes.

Two different companies are winning here. Capstone financed the $750k production and sold worldwide rights, so their return is the $14M check plus international. Focus is playing the distribution margin, where studios keep roughly half of box office, so a $300M finish nets them somewhere around $150M against that ~$50M spend.

And "most profitable of all time" already has a holder. Paranormal Activity turned $15,000 into $193M, a 12,900x return on production budget. Obsession at $330M on $750k is 440x. Astonishing, and still nearly 30x short of the record.

The number that goes viral is the one that ignores who actually paid for it.

@joshbecker659 Indie horror keeps doing this and every time it’s somehow a surprise to people.

@KingJamesIIIIII @tobeyy_mag He knew. Early on. His cognitive dissonance let him accept it early on. Later when it was beyond doubt he doubled down on it t

@KingJamesIIIIII @tobeyy_mag His wish took away her agency. She had no choice. Sleeping with her was rape.

[Objects In Space @objects_space]

@orjikhon The scene is framed this way to show the wish made her a puppet. Nothing more. No agency.

Hot take. Obsession isn’t a possession movie. No demon invaded Nikki. Bear’s wish created that second consciousness. Bear did this to her. The film is literally a character study in deflecting that blame, and part of the audience is doing the same thing.

One of the craziest box office weekends underway: BACKROOMS by 20-year old Kane Parsons on track to make at least $80M at this point. OBSESSION to make MORE in its 3rd wkdn ($28.5) than its 1st & 2nd wkdns...and more than GROGU (around $24M). https://t.co/5BIZqKJG3B

@KingJamesIIIIII @tobeyy_mag He was a villain far earlier but that was the most obvious moment.

[Objects In Space @objects_space]

@feltoland She says “Bear” not “Bitch.” Pay closer attention on next viewing and you will hear it.

[Objects In Space @objects_space]

@OBSESSIENT IDK. Saying “two relatable characters” in reference to Bear feels like a self report. Maybe she walks that back in the review?

Jesus Christ do you understand how important this is

[Objects In Space @objects_space]

@Russ__ATX @FilmUpdates Nothing wrong with actors expressing dream roles when asked.

The president said your wife was ugly and your dad murdered JFK and yet you continue to stand with him. Why?

@hatewheel @shin_kale_rider The director is on record saying it’s not a monkey’s paw.
