Two months might have passed since it made its theatrical debut, but the world is still obsessed with Obsession. Curry Barker's breakout masterpiece after moving from YouTube to the director's chair is nothing short of incredible, being both terrifying and poignant. Turning a sub-$1 million budget into over $400 million to date is just one of the many amazing results of Barker's genius, with hopes that the Academy might recognize the film in 2027, especially Inde Navarrette's star-making performance, which Collider's Hannah Hunt calls "one of the year's best" in her review.
Not only is Obsession the highest-grossing non-animated original film of the past decade and the only genre film in cinema history to stay in the box office top ten for over 40 days in a row, but it is now the tenth highest-grossing horror movie of all time. The latter feat is made even more impressive when considering the huge, big-budget franchise horror films it has now outgrossed, including a divisive 2025 sequel that is about to make its way to a new streamer.
Starting August 3, you will be able to stream Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 on Netflix in the U.S. Following on from the huge success of Blumhouse’s Five Nights at Freddy’s in 2023, which is based on the lore-filled viral horror games by Scott Cawthon, the sequel released to a similar box office triumph, turning a $51 million budget into a global haul of $239 million. Once again starring Josh Hutcherson as Mike, the sequel follows him and Abby (Piper Rubio) as they deal with the aftermath of the original Freddy Fazbear’s chaos. Matthew Lillard, Skeet Ulrich, Mckenna Grace, Elizabeth Lail, and Wayne Knight also star in this horror sequel that was torn apart by critics, but found success with audiences.
Another 'Five Nights at Freddy's' Is on the Way
Late last month, the announcement was made that Five Nights at Freddy's 3 was officially in development, which came as little surprise when considering how well both installments have performed financially so far. Horror veteran Gary Dauberman has been hired to pen the threequel, replacing the aforementioned Cawthon. Little else is known about the next installment, so make sure to stay tuned for updates.
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 will stream on Netflix next month.
