Summary
$371.2 million in global ticket sales made Focus Features' horror film "Obsession" the highest-grossing original live-action English-language movie of the 2020s as of Sunday.
The total includes $233.9 million domestically and $137.3 million internationally, a striking haul for a film made for under $1 million.
"Obsession," directed by Curry Barker and starring Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette, opened May 15 and built momentum despite limited prerelease hype.
The record puts it ahead of the previous benchmark held by Michael B. Jordan's "Sinners," underscoring how a low-budget original has outperformed bigger studio formulas.
