## Resource

An indie horror gem called Obsession, made for just $750,000 and directed by 26-year-old Curry Barker, is blowing up globally—earning over $300 million and counting, with a projected final haul of $390M–$420M. It’s outperforming classics like The Blair Witch Project as the highest-grossing film under a million bucks, thanks to viral Gen Z buzz and a second weekend surge that outperformed the first. Proof that a killer story can still dominate the box office, no studio backing needed. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
