“Obsession” is about to beat the mighty “Blair Witch Project” as the most successful film festival acquisition ever, according to Deadline. Focus Features grabbed it at
#TIFF50 for $15M , and it’s now earned $229.3M and counting at the global box office. Sundance pick-up “Blair Witch” topped out at $248.6M worldwide in ‘99, so “Obsession” isn’t far behind. This bodes well for the Toronto International Film Festival’s expanded dealmaking with TIFF: The Market. 📽️
