Obsession continues to prove unstoppable at the box-office.<\/p>\n
This past weekend, the surprise hit continued to pull in the bucks, bringing its worldwide box-office total to $374 million.<\/p>\n
This means Obsession has broken several more box-office records, adding to its already impressive roster.<\/p>\n
First of all, the movie has surpassed Ryan Coogler\u2019s Sinners, to become the highest-grossing non-animated original film of the past decade.<\/p>\n
On top of that, Obsession made a record of its own, as it is now the only genre film in history to remain in the box-office top ten for over 40 consecutive days.<\/p>\n
In the face of massive competition from Toy Story 5, Supergirl, Disclosure Day, and Scary Movie, the film held strong for six weeks. Obsession has consistently made money week-to-week, despite never claiming the top spot at the box-office.<\/p>\n
The movie has also surpassed The Exorcist at the domestic box-office, cementing its legacy as one of the highest grossing horror movies of all time.<\/p>\n
As it stands, Barker\u2019s film has made almost 400 times its reported budget of $900,000.<\/p>\n
Obsession will remain in wide release, despite the movie being made available to rent and buy at home this past week.<\/p>\n
Given this enormous success, will we see a sequel? Filmmaker Curry Barker has openly stated he has \u201can idea,\u201d but is in no rush to capitalise on Obsession\u2019s success.<\/p>\n
Who can blame him? Barker is currently busy finishing off Anything but Ghosts, and will then reinvent the Texas Chain Saw franchise for A24. After that, Barker will craft a new original genre film for Blumhouse and Universal\u2026 So it\u2019s safe to say he\u2019s very busy.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll let you know if Barker gets a spare moment to think about Obsession 2. Will a sequel break records too?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
