The horror film "Obsession," which achieved significant box office success, is now available for purchase and rental on digital platforms. This release allows viewers to watch the movie at home following its theatrical run.
"Obsession" stars Michael Johnston as Bear, a young man working in a music shop who harbors unrequited feelings for his colleague Nikki, played by Inde Navarrette. After discovering a supernatural object that grants wishes, Bear wishes for Nikki to fall in love with him, leading to unforeseen and intense consequences.
The film, written and directed by Curry Barker, garnered widespread attention through word-of-mouth, ultimately grossing over $371 million worldwide. This performance made it Focus Features' highest-grossing film to date.
Digital purchase and rental options for "Obsession" are available on platforms including Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and Fandango At Home. On Amazon Prime, the digital copy costs $24.99 to buy and $19.99 to rent, with a 48-hour viewing window for rentals after playback begins. The digital release includes bonus features such as "Obsession Unleashed," a 19-minute behind-the-scenes look, and an audio commentary with Barker. The movie will also be released on 4K UHD and Blu-ray on July 14, 2026.
While "Obsession" is not yet available on subscription streaming services, it is expected to premiere on Peacock. As a Focus Features release, a subsidiary of NBCUniversal, the film is anticipated to stream on Peacock, the company's own platform. Peacock offers two subscription tiers: Premium with ads for $10.99 per month and Premium Plus ad-free for $16.99 per month. Annual plans are also available, offering savings for a 12-month subscription. A Prime Video subscription can include Peacock Premium Plus with a seven-day free trial.
The streaming debut on Peacock is tentatively projected for mid-September 2026, aligning with release patterns of other Universal Pictures films. Some titles have arrived on Peacock as early as three months after their theatrical release, suggesting a possible debut in August 2026. Following its run on Peacock, "Obsession" is slated to become available on Amazon Prime Video, free with a Prime subscription, approximately four months after its Peacock premiere, likely around February 2027. This staggered release is part of a distribution agreement between Universal and Amazon.
