Obsession Breaks Box Office Records, Streaming Release Delayed Due to Strong Theatrical Run
Focus Features' horror-romance film Obsession, directed by Curry Barker, has become the studio's highest-grossing movie, surpassing $200 million globally. Notably, it is the first film since 1982's E.T. to increase box office earnings in its second and third weekends and set records for the best fourth-weekend hold for a horror film. Despite initial plans for a 17-day digital release, its strong theatrical performance has delayed streaming availability, with Universal Pictures now favoring a minimum five-week theatrical window for most films.
