A24's Viral Horror Hit Climbs to All-Time Box Office Heights

There's one horror movie on everyone's lips, and it hails from a YouTuber-turned-feature film director. That film is Focus Features' Obsession, directed by Curry Barker, who became popular for his online comedy sketches before crafting an instant classic horror movie on his first try — where have we heard that before, Jordan Peele? Obsession has already broken several records since its premiere, most recently becoming the first film with a sub-$1 million production budget to make over $200 million at the box office. This was last achieved in 1999's The Blair Witch Project.
