Curry Barker’s horror blockbuster Obsession continues its phenomenal theatrical run, crossing the $200 million mark worldwide and setting new milestones for the horror genre.
According to industry tracker BoxOfficeMojo, the film has earned an impressive $234.5 million (approximately Rs 2,240 crore) globally within just 26 days of its release in the United States on May 15.
With this achievement, Obsession has officially become the highest-grossing film in the history of Focus Features, surpassing all previous releases from the studio.
The film has enjoyed exceptional success in the domestic market, where it has already generated over $161 million in ticket sales, making it the studio’s biggest-ever release in North America.
Its latest milestone comes after a remarkable fourth weekend at the box office. Obsession recorded only a 7 percent drop in earnings while collecting $25.6 million during its fourth weekend, an extraordinary feat for a horror film.
Industry analysts note that the movie has now set records for the strongest fourth-weekend hold ever achieved by a horror title, while also delivering the highest fourth-weekend earnings in horror cinema history.
The film’s success has been largely driven by positive word-of-mouth, strong audience reactions and repeat viewership. Horror fans have praised the film’s storytelling, atmosphere and suspense-driven narrative, helping sustain momentum long after its opening weekend.
Internationally, Obsession has continued to attract audiences across multiple territories, including India, where the film has steadily gained popularity among horror enthusiasts.
The movie’s impressive performance further highlights the growing global demand for high-quality horror content and demonstrates the genre’s increasing commercial power in the worldwide film market.
As its theatrical run continues, industry observers believe Obsession could climb even higher among the most successful horror films ever released.
