Overview
- Industry trackers report Obsession has reached about $250.8 million in North America, a rare long‑running gross for a micro‑budget original.
- Published totals diverge on the worldwide cume, with one outlet listing roughly $408.9 million and another citing a Box Office Mojo figure near $426.7 million.
- One tracker’s tally places Obsession as the highest‑grossing original horror film of the 21st century and inside the top 10 all‑time for the genre, though that ranking is disputed by other counts.
- The title was made for about $750,000 and was acquired from TIFF, and its outsized returns have led Focus Features to delay home windows, issue a premium VOD step, and plan a reported Peacock streaming debut on July 17 that is expected to trim further theatrical revenue.
- Obsession kept earning after losing roughly 586 North American screens, a sign of strong word‑of‑mouth, and its run is prompting studios to rethink acquisition strategies, talent opportunities, and how quickly films move from theaters to digital platforms.
