Low-Budget Horror Movie 'Obsession' Sets 17-Year Box Office Record

The cheapest movie to top the box office in 17 years - that's what Obsession, a highly-scored horror movie, has become. By Monday, it had already earned $2.9 million, bringing its worldwide total to $27 million.

This is a massive win, considering its budget was just $750,000. To put that in perspective, the last movie with a lower budget to achieve this feat was the first Paranormal Activity in 2009, which had a budget of $15,000.

Paranormal Activity was shot in a single house with minimal equipment and opened very low in limited release, earning just $77,000. But by its fifth weekend, it had built up viral steam and made $21.1 million, winning the box office.

Obsession's success is similar, but it's happening much faster. We're only 4-5 days into its run, and the fact that it happened on Monday is eyebrow-raising. It's about to run into The Mandalorian and Grogu, the first Star Wars movie in seven years, which is likely to open at $80-100 million.

Obsession is destined to be one of the biggest horror hits of the year, if not the last few years. It may even carry on into award season, as star Inde Navarrette's performance as Nikki is being praised as one of the best in horror history.

After seeing the movie, you'll understand that this praise isn't an exaggeration. Curry Barker, the director of Obsession, was previously a YouTuber. This isn't the only low-budget horror success story we're seeing. Kane Parsons' Backrooms from A24, made for under $10 million, is also projected to be a big hit.

All eyes are on Obsession and how it can stack up next to the upcoming Star Wars movie. The fact that Obsession has set a 17-year box office record is not just a win for the movie, but also for the horror genre as a whole.

It's not just about the numbers - it's about the impact that Obsession is having on the film industry. It's showing that you don't need a huge budget to make a successful movie. You just need a good story, good acting, and a bit of luck.

As the movie continues to break records, it will be interesting to see how it performs in the coming weeks. Will it be able to hold its own against the Star Wars movie, or will it get lost in the shuffle? It's uncertain what will happen, but one thing is for sure
