After an even better second weekend in theaters, new horror movie Obsession has made its production budget back almost 75 times over

Michael Johnston as 'Bear' in Obsession.

After hitting screens on May 15, Curry Barker's Obsession managed to earn over $17 million across the US and $27 million worldwide during its opening weekend, which is a pretty big feat, seen as though its reported production budget falls under $1 million. This made Obsession the cheapest movie to top the box office in 17 years since the first Paranormal Activity in 2009, according to Forbes.

However, its second weekend went even better, as Obsession managed to pull in $22 million from US theaters ($28.2 million if you count Memorial Day on Monday, too), as per BoxOfficeMojo. This means that Obsession has so far generated over $58 million in the US and $74 million worldwide. That's over 74 times its production budget, making it one of the year’s most profitable releases, as found by Variety.
