Every so often, a new horror movie comes along and turns the box office on its head. This year, "Obsession" has become that movie everyone’s been talking about. What started as a low-budget swing by filmmaker Curry Barker has grown into one of the 2026 movie calendar’s wildest theatrical stories, the kind of breakout that makes everyone in Hollywood suddenly look to YouTube filmmakers for the next big thing. Well, the guys behind "Obsession" have a one-word response to their flick blowing past box-office expectations. In a recent Hollywood Reporter interview, Cooper Tomlinson, Curry Barker’s "That’s a Bad Idea" YouTube channel partner and "Obsession" cast member, was asked if he had run out of ways to describe how insane watching "Obsession’s" box-office win was.
