After making a wish for Nikki to love him more than anything else in the world, Nikki suddenly becomes dangerously obsessed with Bear. The consequences for everyone involved, as in true horror fashion, prove fatal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe film\u2019s digital release date <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/obsession-digital-release-date-delayed\" target=\"_blank\">was delayed<\/a> due to how successful it proved to be in theaters. To date, \u201cObsession\u201d has grossed $370 million worldwide on a budget of less than $1 million, making it the highest-grossing Focus Features release to date; the company acquired the film for $14 million out of last year\u2019s Toronto International Film Festival.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cObsession\u201d largely found success due to strong word-of-mouth, with an \u201cA-\u201d grade on CinemaScore exit polls and 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. After an impressive $17.2 million domestic debut in its opening weekend, the film grew to $23.9 million in its second weekend and $27.4 million in its third weekend, an unprecedented jump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tConversation has already swirled about the film\u2019s award season prospects.

It\u2019s a cultural phenomenon at the box office with a star-making performance, a director with a once-in-a-generation origin story and a distributor with everything to gain by betting on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tNext up, Barker will release \u201cAnything but Ghosts\u201d starring Aaron Paul and Bryce Dallas Howard.
