Overview
- Obsession became available to rent or buy on premium video‑on‑demand on Tuesday, June 30, after a weeks‑long cinema run that pushed its worldwide gross to about $371 million.
- The film has earned roughly $233.9 million in North America and about $137 million internationally, placing it among the top earners on modern horror box‑office lists.
- Made for a reported budget near $750,000 and acquired out of TIFF for roughly $14–15 million, Obsession’s outsized returns have drawn intense studio interest in director Curry Barker.
- Universal Pictures Home Entertainment plans physical releases (4K UHD, Blu‑ray and DVD) for July 14, and reports say an unrated cut is slated to appear on Apple TV around the same time.
- Coverage has highlighted labor and pay questions: crew on micro‑budget productions earned flat rates while reports say some executives and producers will receive large bonuses after the film’s sale and success.
