Focus Features/Blumhouse’s $15M+ pick-up of Curry Barker’s romantic horror movie, Obsession, has grossed $2.6M in previews between Thursday night and Wednesday shows.
Now get this, that number is higher than the previews for Paramount’s Smile, which were $2M, but that movie opened to $22.6M. It remains to be seen whether Obsession plays to that level. The pic’s comps are indie horror movies like A24’s Heretic and Talk to Me and Obsession has already beat those pics’ Friday previews which were $1.2M apiece. Heretic opened to $10.8M, and Talk to Me to $10.4M.
