Overview

  • Peacock will begin streaming Obsession on Friday, July 17, following a PVOD release on June 30 and an extended theatrical run.
  • The film has earned just over $400 million worldwide, making it Focus Features’ highest-grossing release and reporting roughly $405M–$407M in recent tallies.
  • Produced for about $750,000 and acquired at TIFF for roughly $14M–$15M, Obsession is now reported as the highest-grossing film ever made for less than $1 million.
  • Obsession sustained rare box-office legs, including a 54-day streak of $1M-plus daily grosses and consecutive weekend gains that kept it strong in its eighth week.
  • Focus is mounting an awards push while director Curry Barker has multiple studio projects underway, and the film’s run is prompting studios to rethink PVOD timing and streaming windows.
