Inside Obsession’s Latest Box Office Win

It’s happening — Obsession is defying all the box office odds. No joke — no one saw this coming.

But what makes this stand out — it’s now the first movie since 1982’s E.T. The Extraterrestrial to have second and third weekend increases outside of the holiday season — according to Focus Features, via Wikipedia. And honestly — this movie just won’t stop: it’s getting offers for its next project — which Curry Barker hasn’t even pitched yet. The thing is — it’s getting attention from everywhere.

The Unexpected Success of Obsession

So — what’s behind this success? Obsession commands a glowing 96% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes — among critics — and 95% score among audiences: that’s pretty much unheard of.

And — it works: the movie’s got a unique storyline — it’s about a hopeless romantic — Michael Johnston — who breaks the mysterious “One Wish Willow” to win his crush’s heart — Inde Navarrette — and finds himself getting exactly what he asked for — but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark — sinister price. How does she — Inde Navarrette — keep making these roles work? Yet — it’s Obsession that’s broken the internet — made waves: real talk — it’s lowkey surprising that it’s doing so well — considering it’s an indie horror movie that hit theaters on May 15. But — the numbers don’t lie: it’s caught attention — set tongues wagging. The movie dropped — and it’s been nonstop since. Gotta say — the 26-year-old YouTuber-turned-director is now getting offers for his next project — which he hasn’t even pitched yet: that’s kind of a big deal — no joke.

Real talk — this movie’s success is somehow sparking a lot of interest in the film industry — and we’re here for it.

And somehow — Obsession is still making waves — honestly — it’s the movie that just won’t stop.
