Obsession Lands on Peacock After Record-Setting Low-Budget Box Office
Obsession, Curry Barker’s romantic horror made on under $1 million, is headed to Peacock on July 17 after a blockbuster theatrical run that pushed its box-office total toward the $405 million mark. The film’s extraordinary ROI and a 60-day window—short by modern standards—are highlighted as it moves to streaming. The piece also covers a New York Times report alleging The Chosen’s equity crowdfunding structure squeezed out minority investors in a controversial cash-out and reverse stock split, a claim disputed by 5&2 co-founder Dallas Jenkins, while noting The Chosen’s high revenue projections and enterprise value. A separate interview quote from J.K. Simmons about Batgirl’s cancellation is also mentioned.
