Obsession Box Office Jumps 16% Toward $20 Million Second Weekend
Obsession box office is headed for a near $20 million second weekend after a 16% jump in its three-day gross. Focus Features and Blumhouse-Atomic Monster have turned a opening frame into a steadier run, and the film now looks stronger than it did a week ago.
Curry Barker And The $55.1 Million Mark
If the numbers hold, Obsession will reach a $24.8 million four-day gross and an 11-day domestic cume of $55.1 million. That would leave it 18% ahead of Longlegs at the same point and 17% behind Nosferatu, a useful benchmark for a title that is holding better than many horror-adjacent releases do in week two.
Curry Barker also has a sequel question hanging over the run, ending one piece on the record with, “Is there an Obsession 2?” That line lands because the movie is not just surviving its second weekend; it is moving into the kind of territory where studios start measuring whether the audience is still growing after opening weekend.
Women Shift The Audience Mix
Women now make up 51% of the audience, up from 41% in the opening weekend. That is a notable swing for a film built around battle-of-the-sexes dynamics, and it suggests the title is broadening beyond the audience mix it opened with.
The scorecard is moving with that shift. Obsession’s definite recommend has risen to 74% from 70% last weekend, while men still like it slightly more than women at 75% to 73%.
18-34 Drives The Run
The 18-34 audience accounts for 75% of Obsession’s viewers, with the 18-24 group now ahead of 25-34, 40% to 35%. Women under 25 gave the film a 91% grade, and men over 25 gave it a 90% grade, which is the kind of split that helps a movie hold when word of mouth is doing the work.
That retention is the story here. A second weekend that climbs instead of slipping, even before the holiday frame is fully counted, gives Obsession a cleaner path to keep pace with comparable titles while the audience mix keeps shifting in its favor.
