It is the highest-grossing horror movie of the year. The film is still clinging to the domestic box office despite being available on digital platforms.
Can it surpass the domestic haul of The Fantastic Four: First Steps?
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is an MCU movie released in 2025. It underperformed at the box office but managed to hit break-even worldwide.

Obsession is still around $12 million away from the domestic haul of The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
According to estimates, the Curry Barker film is on track to earn between $265 million and $270 million at the box office in North America during its theatrical run.
