As recently stated in an interview by the film's director, Carey Barker, he never expected to become successful with his film, particularly in India. He explained how he was taken aback by the success of the movie.
Carey Barker said, "I never expected ‘Obsession’ to be such a huge hit in India. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be a massive hit anywhere. You simply hope that people will like your film, but it is hard to believe what is actually happening."
He added, "We made this film on a very low budget. So, the recognition and love it is receiving mean a great deal to me."
The film has grossed over ₹78 crore in India, sparking widespread discussion on social media. Fans are even coming up with various theories and memes about the movie.
‘Obsession’ has also performed brilliantly on a global scale. It has grossed over $200 million (approximately ₹2,240 crore) worldwide, making it Focus Features' biggest film to date.
According to reports, the film has earned $161 million in the US alone. It maintained a strong hold even in its fourth weekend, collecting around $25.6 million-a figure considered a record for horror films.
Overall, ‘Obsession’ has proven that a small film can achieve massive success driven by a good story and compelling content.
The Hollywood film ‘Obsession’ is a supernatural psychological horror movie. The film's story revolves around a man named Bear, who works in a music store. 'Obsession' is written and directed by Kari Barker.
