Curry Barker’s horror hit Obsession comes to Netflix in the US on November 17. Netflix announced the date on October 18 with a post reading, “You wished for this,” per iHorror. Other territories may differ.
The film opened in theaters on May 15 and has grossed more than $500 million worldwide, on a budget Barker has given as $750,000, according to iHorror. Parade reports it became Focus Features’ highest-grossing film ever. It moved to premium video on demand on June 30, to Peacock on July 17, and to disc on July 14.
Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette star as Bear and Nikki. Bear buys a toy called One Wish Willow and uses it to make someone love him. The Netflix date follows a licensing deal in which Universal films go to Peacock, then Netflix, per Yahoo. Dread Central reports Netflix had earlier offered to take the film straight to streaming.
Barker has not announced Obsession 2, though Navarrette has said she is on board. His next film, Anything but Ghosts, is set for May 7, 2027.
