‘Obsession’ Makes Streaming Debut on Peacock in One Week
Curry Barker's horror film 'Obsession' earned $370 million worldwide on a budget under $1 million, becoming Focus Features' top release and driving its streaming acquisition.
- On Friday, July 17, Focus Features' horror hit "Obsession" begins streaming on Peacock. Directed by Curry Barker, the supernatural film arrives following an extraordinary theatrical run that defied industry expectations.
- Grossing over $400 million globally on a budget of less than $1 million, the film became a breakout success. Its unprecedented theatrical performance included strong gains during its second and third weekends, defying typical box office trends.
- The story follows Bear and Nikki, who break a toy called the "One Wish Willow," with consequences that prove fatal. Fueled by strong word-of-mouth, the film earned an "A-" on CinemaScore and 94% on Rotten Tomatoes.
- Viewers can access the title through Peacock's subscription tiers: the $11-per-month Premium plan or the $17-per-month Premium Plus option. The cheaper $8-per-month Select tier excludes access to Universal Pictures films.
