Nobody saw this coming. While big-name releases have been battling it out at the Indian box office, Curry Barker’s Hollywood horror thriller Obsession has been doing something far more impressive — holding steady, week after week, with barely a dent in its numbers. The horror film starring Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette has now crossed the Rs. 76.75 crore mark in just 17 days, and the Rs. 100 crore club is firmly in sight.

What Makes Obsession Numbers So Special?
In an industry where most films lose 40–60% of their audience by Week 3, Obsession posted a jaw-dropping just 15% drop in its third weekend compared to its second. That’s not just good — that’s exceptional word-of-mouth at work.
The film remained the top choice for audiences this weekend despite multiple new releases competing for screens and eyeballs. That kind of staying power is rare for any film, let alone a mid-budget Hollywood horror thriller without a superhero or major franchise attached.
Horror films have historically performed in waves at the Indian box office, but Obsession seems to have broken that pattern entirely — building its audience organically through genuine scares and strong reviews.
Where Is It Headed?
The projections are exciting. Obsession is expected to close its third week at around Rs. 85 crore, needing just Rs. 15 crore more in its fourth week to crack the coveted Rs. 100 crore milestone — a target that looks very achievable given its current trajectory.
More significantly, it is now on course to become the No. 1 Hollywood grosser in India for 2026, surpassing Project Hail Mary which had previously led the chart. That’s a massive statement for a horror film going up against sci-fi and action blockbusters.
