Overview
- The film has earned just over $400 million worldwide on a reported $750,000 production budget, making it the highest-grossing movie ever made for under $1 million.
- Obsession hit paid VOD on June 30 and will begin streaming exclusively on Peacock on July 17, with a reported Netflix U.S. window set roughly four months after the Peacock debut.
- Theatrical momentum was driven by unusually steady daily grosses that stayed above $1 million for more than seven weeks before North American daily takings dipped below that level.
- Focus Features bought the film out of TIFF for a mid‑teens million dollar sum and is mounting an awards campaign while director Curry Barker is receiving multiple studio offers and new projects.
- The film’s run has prompted renewed industry debate about acquisition economics, talent pay on micro‑budgets and how studios should set theatrical and streaming windows for breakout indies.
