The supernatural horror galvanized the Gen Z movie-going population and grossed $519 million worldwide against a budget of less than $1 million. It also achieved a 39% jump in earnings in its second weekend, a feat rarely seen in the current box office climate. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cObsession\u201d was also a critical smash, earning early Oscar buzz for Inde Navarrette, who co-starred in the project alongside Michael Johnston, Megan Lawless and Tomlinson. The film follows a hopelessly lonely young man named Bear (Johnston), who uses a mysterious toy called a \u201cOne Wish Willow\u201d to make his crush, Nikki (Navarrette), fall for him. The wish, of course, goes terribly wrong, leading to bloody consequences for Bear, Nikki and their friends. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Focus Features and Blumhouse-Atomic Monster have slated Curry Barker\u2018s upcoming horror-comedy \u201cAnything But Ghosts\u201d for release on May&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":865242,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[82568,88,85043],"class_list":["post-865241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-curry-barker","tag-entertainment","tag-obsession"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/865241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=865241"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/865241\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/865242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=865241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=865241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=865241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
