Watch:Peacock PremiumPeacock Premium PlusAmazon VideoApple TV StoreGoogle Play Movies

Box office: $474,780,890 worldwide ($262,774,890 domestic; $17,196,855 opening weekend) · Awards: 7 wins & 15 nominations total.

AI verdict: Obsession's $474.8M worldwide gross on a $750,000 budget is one of the greatest ROI stories in recent horror — and unlike most micro-budget breakouts, both critics (77 Metascore) and audiences (7.9 IMDb, 291K votes) actually back it up, suggesting Curry Barker's cursed-charm premise is the rare high-concept horror hook that delivers on its promise rather than just its marketing.
