Despite the arrival of Pixar\u2019s Toy Story 5, it has posted the most important sixth-Friday domestic collection of all time for horror movies, based on Luiz Fernando. The newest boost has taken its cumulative domestic total to <strong>$206.3 million.<\/strong> It currently ranks because the highest-grossing horror film and the fifth-highest-grossing release of 2026, based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/year\/world\/?sort=domesticGrossToDate&#038;ref_=bo_ydw__resort#table\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Box Office Mojo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">It\u2019s TONIGHT!<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/Focus?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Focus<\/a>\u2019 R-rated original horror phenomenon <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/Obsession?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Obsession<\/a> will beat <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/ItChapterTwo?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ItChapterTwo<\/a>\u2019s entire run because the #7 highest grossing horror EVER at US <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/BoxOffice?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BoxOffice<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>YouTuber <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/CurryBarker?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CurryBarker<\/a> grossed OBSESSED 4.7M on BIGGEST Sixth nationwide FRI of ALL TIME for horror, only a -24.7% drop\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OKqCxfeoTk\">pic.twitter.com\/OKqCxfeoTk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Luiz Fernando (@Luiz_Fernando_J) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Luiz_Fernando_J\/status\/2068340465439523108?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Because it continues its impressive theatrical run, Obsession is now on target to surpass the domestic total of It: Chapter Two to develop into the seventh-highest-grossing horror movie of all time on the North American box office.

After reaching this goal, it would develop into the seventh-highest-grossing horror movie of all time domestically.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Given its current momentum, Curry Barker\u2019s film is predicted to earn around <strong>$13-15 million<\/strong> over the June 19-21 weekend in North America. So, it looks like Obsession will comfortably outgross It: Chapter Two by the top of the weekend. Nevertheless, the box office final result might be clear by Monday.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>How Far Is Obsession From The Biggest Horror Hit?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To develop into the highest-grossing horror movie of all time on the domestic box office, Obsession must beat the present No.1 film, It. The 2017 film, directed by Andy Muschietti, earned <strong>$328.9 million<\/strong> in North America. Given the present stage of its theatrical run, reaching that milestone appears unlikely. That said, the ultimate box office verdict will develop into clear in the approaching weeks.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What\u2019s Obsession All About?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When Bear (Michael Johnston), a music store worker, discovers a mysterious trinket, he uses it to meet one wish\u2014to make his childhood friend and co-worker Nikki (Inde Navarrette) fall in love with him.
