Obsession had a 39% increase from weekend 1 to weekend 2 and it’s on track to increase again for weekend 3.

Highly recommend checking it out if you’re a horror fan. If you haven’t watched a trailer, don’t. Go in blind and you won’t be disappointed.

A quick falloff was expected after the initial hype wore off for the Mandalorian. It's not going to have the word of mouth to keep going strong, at least not in the US.

Mandalorian made more than $4 million yesterday. That is a very good Wednesday. Obsession made more than $5 million. That is an incredible Wednesday.

Mando doing standard blockbuster business. Obsession is officially a phenomenon.

To be fair, I hear Obsession is really good

And also we need to reformat our thinking on Star Wars

It just isn't a major IP any longer. That ship has sailed. It is just a regular series, like James Bond.

Skyfall hit 300 million, which is about what we can expect from SW movies.

It’s funny since they sold it at TIFF, every interview he’s done he’s dressed in the most “I just got my first real paycheck” type outfits

His boy Cooper went right to Turkey to get some hair implants

Obsession is a good fricking movie. Grogu is several okay or meh episodes of the Mandalorian rather than a real movie.

This is one of those cases where the better product is getting an appropriate amount of success.

This is also where I make another plug for the Sheep Detective movie. It's a better movie than Grogu and more kid friendly if Obsession isn't your genre and you want to take the family to the theater

Also, the marketing has moved to insta and tiktok. This is driving the zs and the alphas to join in on the zeitgeist. It's not often a movie has reached that level of fever pitch. It isn't like growing up where the movie of the weekend became a real cultural phenomenon. This is really neat to see and especially awesome for the Barker family. Huge momentum for the budding horror director. Blumhouse has his momentum primed right into his next project as well. They gambled big as this was finished back in 2024.

"This played for hardcore fans and no one else"


No it didnt. Good God, Disney and critics will do everything in their power to always blame ESTABLISHED pre-Disney SW fans.


Zero moral questions, gray empty nihilistic moral relativism, hatred of masculine traits, hatred of male heroics.


Nothing about ANY of the Disney star wars is normal star wars. Stop acting like it isnt anything but moronic culty feminist-progressive propaganda.

Hollywood is too deep into this, especially disney. Firing one or two people wont do anything, they'll just be replaced by another exactly like them.

Anyone acting interested in ANY disney star wars content- just remember, its not about a good show, its about WOMEN first and foremost.

Women leaders at every step, butch-like, masculinized, subservient men, etc.

They aren't even trying to make a good piece of content, at all. At what point do you figure it out? Disney has no interest in your demands, they're here to inject their retardation and youre stupid enough to keep falling for it. They hate you and they hate everything you stand for. Stop patronizing their services. I dont understand how you havent figured this out yet. Its literally the same in all other media as well.
