#Obsession ending its Week 1 at $30.2M, adding $3.2M on THU. That’s 10% higher than MON & just 28% down from its opening FRI. An exceptionally rare trend for the North American BO. 2nd weekend should be $20M+, possibly closer to $25M. $100M+ feels likely. More? let’s see.

      Wait is he expecting a fucking increase from weekend 1?! That’s legit insane. I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen that in my entire time of tracking the box office ?

      If this holds against Backrooms, then nothing is going to hurt its legs for the rest of its run. Excellent movie.

      Passengers might be cooked unfortunately, gonna get squeezed between this and Backrooms. Could’ve done better if released in a lighter period for horror like April

      Possible +20% from OW holy shit. If it’s holding this well to the competition this weekend then it will hold well to Backrooms. WTF is going on with this movie, we might have a modern day sixth sense on our hands?!??

    5. Would have not seen this run but man am I stoked for it!

      Actual god tier horror movie. I’m there for anything this dude makes again, wasn’t the budget only like $1 mil too?

      An increase that large in the middle of May is record breaking. Glad that this movie is overperforming to this degree.

      Want to see how it holds against Backrooms and Scary Movie first but man I’m rooting for 100M

      Holy shit, an increase in second weekend. When’s the last time that has happened for a movie in wide release?

      I am simultaneously so happy for this movie, for original cinema, and also EXTREMELY JEALOUS of Curry Barker haha.

      It’s definitely getting casual attention outside the horror fandom the fact that it’s gonna increase in the mist of a big tentpole release when it released last week with no new releases is crazy

      Does it have enough screens to do that? Is it going to perform in some weird way on saturdays and sundays? The way it has performed all week has been strange if you ask me (unusually strong).

      I am going to wait and see what Friday looks like at least before I get too excited.

    13. Just watched it. 100% understand the word of mouth, this needs to be seen in theaters.

      $6.5m
      $10m
      $7.5m
      $5m

      $29m 4-day
      $59m 11-day

      If it actually does $20m-$25m for the 3-day, $100m DOM is happening. Its WOM is wild.
