Curry Barker can throw more steaks on the barbeque this weekend (not cat meat, eww gross), for in addition to him landing his third film with Universal-Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, his Obsession at Focus Features has easily crossed the $300M mark at the global box office.

As we told you a while ago, the Inde Navarrette-Michael Johnston-Cooper Tomlinson movie is Focus Features’ highest ever.

Obsession also crossed the two-century mark at the domestic box office, leading the Thursday B.O. with a near $3M for a $201.6M running cume. The pic out of its 35 days at the box office, has been No. 1 over ten of ’em. It’s a Get Out situation all over again for Blumhouse: Obsession is feasibly sparking awards conversation, particularly for Navarrette. Get Out was nominated for four Oscars including Best Picture winning Original Screenplay for Jordan Peele.

Obsession worldwide is within $21M of besting The Conjuring ($321.2M WW), and stateside could possibly scare away the lifetime cume of The Exorcist ($233M domestic). Obsession has some big markets left to go overseas including Germany on June 25, Spain on June 26, Japan on July 17 and Korea on Sept. 2.

As far as Barker’s fellow YouTube brethren Kane Parsons goes with Backrooms, that highest grossing A24 movie of all-time is seeing its domestic cume at $167.76M (at end of week 3) about to takeover that of Disney/Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Mandalorian and Grogu which currently stands at $167.8M at the end of week four. Backrooms is the little movie that could. Who knew this $10M indie feature with an under $20M P&A spend which released one week after Mandalorian and Grogu (which cost $165M net and a hundred million plus in global P&A) would overtake an anticipated summer franchise tentpole? Especially a legacy IP. Backrooms opened to $81.4M 3-day, $200K shy of Mando and Grogu‘s $81.6M, a sublime feat for any A24 or indie film.

Worldwide with an estimated $317.8M, Mando and Grogu remains ahead of Backrooms which is well over $264M. Backrooms opened in France yesterday to No. 2 with $1M in its first day. That’s more than double A24’s best opening day result in the country ever.  In Belgium & Luxembourg, Backrooms grossed $92k across 103 prints, which is the best opening day for a horror film this year and the fourth best for a horror film since 2022. The Parsons pic will bow in China on June 26 with the Maoyan’s ranking board already buzzing that the pic was the No. 1 Interested on Thursday, ahead of Spider-Man: Brand New Day (No. 2), Toy Story 5, Minions and Monsters and other local titles.

Combined, Backrooms and Obsession total close to $370M in North America in a summer that currently stands at $1.6B+.
