The Story in Brief
Obsession, directed by Curry Barker, has ended its North America theatrical run after 91 days, collecting $263.5 million domestically, Koimoi reports. The horror film, made on a budget of $0.75 million, earned an estimated $262.7 million profit in the domestic market alone.
It ranks seventh among the highest-grossing horror films in North America. Worldwide, the film has earned $488.2 million and is still running in international markets. Its domestic total exceeded expectations, beating bigger-budget studio releases.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative around Obsession as a historic or unprecedented success deserves perspective. While its budget-to-box-office ratio is extraordinary, seventh place in domestic horror rankings is solid but not record-breaking. Claims that it is the highest-grossing horror film of 2026 need to be verified against other releases. The true test will be whether it can cross $500 million worldwide, which would cement its status as a genuine global phenomenon rather than a domestic surprise.
