Obsession Breaks Records in Historic Second Weekend

Curry Barker’s debut horror film Obsession has burst onto the domestic box office, grossing well over $60–68 million on a $750,000 budget in under two weeks. Over the Memorial Day weekend, it earned $23.9 million in the three-day span—a 39% jump from opening weekend—marking the biggest second-weekend spike in modern times for a wide release outside Christmas. Focus Features won distribution rights after Toronto for about $15 million, and the movie is in roughly 2,755 theaters, with about 75% of early audiences aged 18–34, signaling strong Gen Z enthusiasm and momentum toward a $70 million domestic run.

Mandalorian and Grogu Set Sights on Theaters for a Star Wars Comeback

Variety reports that The Mandalorian and Grogu is expected to gross about $80–$100 million domestically over a four-day Memorial Day weekend as Lucasfilm tests whether a TV-spawned Star Wars story can translate to theaters. The film carries a lean $165 million price tag, signaling a cautious return to cinema after Solo’s underwhelming run. Analysts say crossovers from streaming to theaters remain a key risk, but Grogu’s merchandising potential and the franchise’s cultural pull could help. Some see next summer’s Star Wars: Starfighter, with Ryan Gosling, as a potentially fresher start to re-energize the brand.

Mandalorian & Grogu Eye $80M Memorial Day Box-Office Kickoff

Box-office trackers forecast The Mandalorian and Grogu will debut around $80 million domestically over the four-day Memorial Day weekend, marking the first Star Wars theatrical release since the pandemic era. Directed by Jon Favreau and continuing Disney+’s Mandalorian saga, the film features new characters and stars Pedro Pascal alongside Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White; marketing will ramp up around May the 4th, including 25 minutes of footage shown in IMAX theaters. While strong, the opening isn’t expected to reach the peaks of 2019’s Rise of Skywalker, and Lucasfilm has other Star Wars projects on the docket, such as Starfighter next year.
