Obsession is continuing to go the distance.
The hit Curry Barker-directed indie horror film just crossed the $300 million mark globally in its sixth weekend at the box office.
The movie brought in another $14 million at the domestic box office, and $10.9 million internationally, for a total haul of $215 million domestically and $333 million globally to date, per Variety.
It’s now the highest-grossing release of all time for Focus Features, and the highest-grossing horror film of 2026. It’s also the first movie since 1982’s E.T. The Extraterrestrial to have consecutive weekend increases outside of the holiday season, according to Focus Features.
The 26-year-old YouTuber-turned-filmmaker has reportedly signed an eight-figure deal with Universal and Blumhouse, according to THR.
Curry will write, direct and produce the project, which will mark his third film with Universal and Blumhouse, following Obsession and his upcoming Anything But Ghosts, which he also wrote, directed and stars in. That pic has already been shot. Get the details.
He also got candid in an interview with THR, where he was asked about the issue of consent between Bear (Michael Johnston) and Nikki (Inde Navarrette) after he makes the wish, and whether there was any desire to make it clear what side the movie was on. Find out what he said in response.
Curry also said he has a “cool idea” for a sequel.
