2026's Breakout Horror Hit Is About To Shatter a Historic Box Office Record




An incredible event is unfolding at the box office. A new horror movie grossed more in its second weekend of release domestically than it did in its first. This is virtually unheard of, and not just for horror films but for movies of all kinds. The most recent movie that came close to achieving this feat was Sinners, which dropped by around 5% in its second weekend in 2025. Remember, a second-weekend drop of around 40% is actually considered strong these days. So, for a movie to increase its earnings is historic. Two decades ago, Borat saw an incredible 7% bump in domestic box office revenue in its second weekend. This past weekend, Obsessiondelivered an incredible 30% increase.
