Mumbai, June 8 - The Hollywood supernatural psychological horror thriller Obsession has emerged as one of the most surprising box office success stories of the year in India and worldwide. What started as a decent theatrical run has transformed into a genuine phenomenon thanks to exceptional word-of-mouth and sustained audience interest. The film's remarkable growth during its second weekend has caught the attention of trade analysts and exhibitors alike, making it one of the strongest-performing Hollywood releases of recent times. Obsession collected approximately 9.30 crore gross during its opening weekend.

Instead of witnessing the usual post-weekend decline, the thriller continued to attract viewers, setting the stage for a massive second weekend. Massive 125% Jump In Second Weekend After grossing approximately 22.10 crores in the first week, the film grossed 21 crore during its second weekend, which is almost equal to its full opening week numbers. However, what is most stunning is that the film registered a phenomenal +125% jump compared to its opening weekend collections of 9.30 crore, which is unheard of.
