India, June 15 -- Movie buffs can't get enough of Nikki and Bear's scary relationship as Focus Features/Blumhouse's Obsession now counts a running global cume of $286.5M. Deadline reported. This makes Curry Barker's film the highest grossing movie to ever be picked up at a film festival, beating The Blair Witch Project's reported final global of $248.6M. The found footage horror film was acquired out of Sundance 1999 for $1M+ by Artisan.

Curry Barker's Obsession, produced on a micro-budget of under $1 million (estimated $750,000), has become a historic box-office phenomenon. The film defied horror movie trends, posted consecutive weekend revenue increases and went on to become the highest-grossing film acquisition in history.
