Obsession Tops $400 Million as Focus Fast-Tracks Streaming

The film's rapid move from premium VOD to Peacock this week suggests studios may shorten digital windows to lock in audiences.

Overview

  • Obsession has earned about $426.7 million worldwide and is still playing in theaters while performing strongly on premium video‑on‑demand.
  • Focus preserved a roughly 45‑day theatrical window before releasing the film on premium VOD and then scheduled an SVOD debut on Peacock just 17 days after that PVOD release.
  • Funko has opened pre‑orders for a 4‑inch Nikki (Bloody) Pop! figure priced at $14.99 with an estimated December 15 ship date, illustrating fast commercialization of the title.
  • The movie was made for roughly $750,000 and bought out of TIFF by Focus for about $15 million, making it one of the most profitable modern micro‑budget breakouts.
  • The hit has raised Curry Barker's and Inde Navarrette's profiles, triggered studio interest and awards campaigning, and is fueling industry debate about acquisition values and pay on micro‑budget sets.
