Obsession surpasses the global haul of 28 Years Later
28 Years Later is a post-apocalyptic film, the third in the 28 Days Later franchise. Directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland 28 Years Later managed to just break even at the worldwide box office. According to Box Office Mojo, 28 Years Later collected $70.4 million and, worldwide, raked in $151.3 million in its lifetime. Curry Barker’s film has surpassed the global haul of 28 Years Later in just twenty days. If the Curry Barker movie surpasses the Danny Boyle film, it would mark a major box office victory for the original horror hit.
Despite being made on a much smaller budget and lacking franchise backing, outgrossing a high-profile sequel would underscore its extraordinary audience appeal, exceptional profitability, and status as one of the most successful horror stories of recent years. Obsession was released on May 15.
