Obsession’s Box Office Success Remains Unstoppable, Even Against Spielberg

Steven Spielberg’s *Disclosure Day* exceeded expectations at the domestic box office this weekend, but it couldn’t quite overshadow *Obsession*.

Reports indicate that *Disclosure Day* is set to earn around $44 million in its opening weekend. While this figure falls short of openings for films like *The Devil Wears Prada 2* or *Michael*, it still outperformed box office predictions. This opening weekend ranks as the fifth-best in Spielberg’s extensive filmography and marks the strongest debut for a new intellectual property from Amblin Entertainment. Globally, the film is projected to reach approximately $92.9 million by the end of the weekend.

Despite *Disclosure Day*’s solid performance, *Obsession* is the standout film this weekend. It’s anticipated to pull in $19 million over the three-day period, representing only a 25% decline from the previous week. This is an impressive retention rate for a horror film produced on a mere $1 million budget, which has only gained traction since its release in May.

The fact that *Obsession* is outpacing titles like *Backrooms* and *The Mandalorian and Grogu* in its fifth week is remarkable. For those interested in the current domestic box office landscape, the top 10 rankings were shared recently.

It’s no surprise that both *Disclosure Day* and *Obsession* are performing well, as they are both exceptional films. In a review, it was noted that *Disclosure Day* not only captivated with its thrilling elements but also evoked a sense of nostalgia reminiscent of Spielberg’s earlier works. Similarly, *Obsession* received accolades for being a confident and unsettling debut from writer-director Curry Barke. Both films are expected to remain in theaters for a while longer.
