Digest more
Hear us out: both films went up roughly 39 percent between their opening weekends and Week 2, a unique rise few other films have ever enjoyed.
Turns out, I was right about that first thing, but wrong about the second, because not only is Obsession a verified box office smash, but it's breaking Hollywood records that I didn't even know existed.
Curry Barker, a 26-year-old YouTuber-turned-filmmaker, made his horror film “Obsession” in just 20 days on a mere $750,000 budget
Shot in 20 days on just $750,000, "Obsession" just did something no horror film has ever done at the box office.
“Obsession” is, well, the obsession of the box office. That’s after the low-budget horror film earned $22 million from 2,655 North American theaters in its second weekend and a projected $28.2 million through the Memorial Day holiday.
Obsession has already made many times its budget, but as of Monday, set a box office record the likes of which we haven't seen since 2007.
