Obsession has officially passed Sinners to become the highest-grossing original live-action film of the decade so far
The film has grossed $371 million against a budget of under $1 million
Obsession has officially surpassed Sinners to be the highest-grossing original film of the decade so far, and it's a good time to be a horror fan.
Obsession, written and directed by Curry Barker, follows a dude who sucks named Bear (Michael Johnston) who buys a novelty wishing branch and wishes for his crush, Nikki (Indie Navarette), to love him more than anything in the world. The wish works, but something takes over Nikki... and she spends the rest of the movie fighting whatever it is in the most violent way.
The movie was made for roughly $750,00, and has earned around $371 million (via Forbes) at the global box office. The cast includes Cooper Tomlinson, Andy Richter, Megan Lawless, Haley Fitzgerald, and Darin Toonder.
Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler, earned $370.3 million worldwide against a budget of $90 million. The film also took home four out of a whopping 16 Oscar nominations, which also made it the most Oscar-nominated movie in history.
"I don’t want to go straight into Obsession 2," Barker said to The Hollywood Reporter, when asked if the movie will turn into a franchise. "I have such a cool idea for it that I won’t say. I’m not saying it has to be five, six years from now. But I think people would be just as excited for it if it came a little down the road. It’s a whirlwind, and I’m trying to figure it out."
Obsession is still in theaters. Sinners is streaming now on HBO Max. For more, check out our guide to the best horror movies, and keep up with other exciting upcoming horror movies on the way.
