It is gaining wide recognition not just in North America but worldwide. The horror movie has crossed the $400 million milestone at the worldwide box office, and if it holds well, it might even hit $500 million.

Set to beat Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings worldwide
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is an MCU movie that performed well at the box office immediately after the post-pandemic setup. The film stands out in the MCU for its representation of Asian culture. It received multiple accolades and collected $432.2 million at the worldwide box office in its lifetime. It was made on a $150 million budget, which is almost $149.3 million more than Obsession’s $750k micro-budget.
Obsession is less than $5 million away from the global haul of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. It will be another great win for the horror flick when it beats the MCU hit, given the huge budget gap between the two movies. It is also encouraging for the filmmakers who dream of making movies on a strict budget. A good script will triumph every time, no matter the production cost. Obsession was released on May 15.
