Overview
- Box Office Mojo–based tallies place Obsession’s worldwide gross at roughly $403–403.4 million, with about $245.2 million domestic and $158.2 million international.
- The 2025 TIFF debut and May 2026 wide release followed Focus Features’ reported $14–15 million acquisition of the film, which was produced for approximately $750,000.
- By surpassing the $400 million threshold the film is being reported as the highest‑grossing unadjusted release made for under $1 million, a claim that depends on pre‑inflation comparisons used by trackers.
- Focus delayed its initial PVOD window to protect theatrical momentum, later issued a premium VOD/digital release in late June and scheduled Blu‑ray/4K and DVD for mid‑July.
- The success has quickly advanced careers and industry strategy: director Curry Barker has multiple projects in development and star Inde Navarrette is taking high‑level meetings while studios reassess how creator‑built Gen‑Z audiences translate to theatrical runs.
