Curry Barker's surprise hit, 'Obsession,' is on the verge of achieving a remarkable box office milestone, nearing $500 million in worldwide earnings. The film has demonstrated exceptional performance, standing strong against major contenders like 'Toy Story 5' and 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' in overseas markets.
'Obsession' has garnered significant praise from both audiences and critics, with a notable appreciation for Inde Navarrette's role as Nikki. The movie has earned $488 million globally, with $263.3 million from its domestic run and $224.7 million internationally.

The film, released on May 15, continues its impressive theatrical run despite losing screens domestically. Its strong performance, especially internationally, highlights its broad appeal and unexpected success as a major sleeper hit.
