OBSESSION has officially become the cheapest movie to EVER top the American box office this century.

Costing only $750K to be made, it earned $2.9M this Monday, surpassing both MICHAEL ($2.7M) and DEVIL WEARS PRADA ($2.0M). pic.twitter.com/WZo7nElJFb

Paranormal Activity had a smaller budget.

Quote:

---

The original Paranormal Activity (2007) had an incredibly small production budget of just $15,000. Director Oren Peli financed the film himself, shooting mostly in his own house. When Paramount Pictures acquired the film later, they invested an additional $200,000 in post-production and marketing, bringing the total overall investment to around $215,000.

Not sure if they're not counting it because it wasn't number 1 opening weekend, but Wiki says it did hit #1 several days of its release.

Either way, cool trivia but a bit cherrypicky imo.

While not this century, I see your Paranormal Activity and raise you Blair Witch Project

$60,000 budget
$500,000 post production edits
$248,600,000 worldwide.

Horror/scary movies get it done!

No surprise.

Hmmmm, haven't seen it yet, and so i'm asking y'all's opinions on this...does it need a sequel? Is there enough story left to justify a sequel? I feel like so many sequels, especially horror movie sequels, are lesser movies than the original. They stretch a good concept too far and just diminish the overall product.

Although I have heard some people suggest the idea of unrelated stories involving the wish/curse from Obsession in an anthology TV series. I think that might be the best way to go.

I assume it's just going to be a wishing willow themed sequel as the only/main tie in.

It has to be anthology

maybe see someone buy a willow after Bear

but not a direct sequel. I will lose all respect for Curry Barker if so

Just got out of it. Loved it.

I was questioning the 16:55 clock too and apparently it was just a prop error due to budget/time restraints and had no meaning.

I'm thinking about the ending. My first thought was that Bear finally acted in her best interest and manned up in that he took his own life instead of hers. But then in thinking about it more it was actually the cruelest thing he could've done, once again taking the easy way out for him and leaving her with 3 dead friends and most likely a life in prison sentence and unbearable trauma. Not to mention her begging to kill her when they were in bed knowing that it was going to continue to get much worse and him walking away. Then the worst happening after that. He was the true villain

He was 100% the true villain and the ending confirmed it. His final act of taking the pills was supposed to be the 'right' thing to do but he then starts to make himself vomit it back up! He was ultimately a coward and was going to condemn Nikki if it weren't for her wish that stopped him.

---

Yup that was not the original ending, I think it was gonna end with him just dying.

But the actor said Bear needed that final moment of cowardice that gets interrupted. He was a piece of **** to the end

Going to be the stick in the middle here. But scary…no. Not in the least. Atmosphere set-up was well done, huge props to that. Had a hard time getting past the male lead being such a weenie. Dark comedy….Yes! I laughed my ass off. When he wished for the billion I lost my **** in hysterics. Otherwise (especially as a horror) way over hyped IMO.
