“Obsession” Surpasses “The Blair Witch Project” at the Box Office

Curry Barker’s horror film Obsession has officially eclipsed the global box office earnings of the 1999 cult classic The Blair Witch Project.

With a worldwide gross of $286.5 million compared to Blair Witch’s $248.6 million, Obsession has now secured the title of the highest-grossing film in history produced on a budget of less than $1 million—a record previously held by the iconic found-footage horror movie.

Obsession follows the story of a young man named Bear who acquires a magical wand capable of granting wishes. He uses it to make his colleague, Nikki, fall in love with him. However, his wish triggers a terrifying obsession that leads to dire consequences. The film stars Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette. In Russia, the movie’s box office performance exceeded 230 million rubles.
