\n\tThe world is obsessed with Obsession<\/em>. Curry Barker\u2019s breakout horror hit has crossed $200 million globally, making it Focus Features\u2018 biggest movie of all time. It already was the studio\u2019s biggest movie domestically of all time, where it stands at $151 million.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe news comes as Obsession<\/em> dropped just 7 percent in its fourth weekend, with its $25.6 million setting a record for the best fourth weekend hold ever for a horror film, as well as the top fourth weekend ever. The previous record holder on both counts was Blair Witch Project<\/em>, which was down 9 percent in 1999 and earned $24.2 million in its fourth weekend, after being the first movie since 1982\u2019s E.T.: The Extraterrestrial <\/em>to increase in weekends two and three.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen Focus acquired Obsession<\/em> out of Toronto International Film Festival for around $15 million, no one could have known it would go on to be the Universal-owned specialty label\u2019s top movie of all time, beating out the continuation of a beloved TV show (2019\u2019s Downton Abbey<\/em>, $193.3 million globally), a hit from its resident horror auteur Robert Eggers (Nosferatu<\/em>, $181.8 million globally), a George Clooney\/Brad Pitt Coen Brothers movie (Burn After Reading<\/em>, $164.3 million globally) or a historical Oscar winner (Darkest Hour<\/em>, $150.3 million globally).<\/p>\n

\n\tBarker shot Obsession<\/em> independently for $750,000 with a cast of unknowns. Before that, he was best known for the horror short The Chair<\/em>, a found-footage movie Milk & Serial<\/em> he posted to free for YouTube, as well as his sketch comedy channel That\u2019s a Bad Idea, run with partner Cooper Tomlinson. Obsession<\/em> has catapulted him into A-list filmmaker territory and made him one of the most sought-after directors in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe has already shot his follow-up movie, Anything But Ghosts<\/em>, and is attached to helm a The Texas Chainsaw<\/em> movie for A24.<\/p>\n
