Curry Barker’s excellent horror film, Obsession, just did something no movie has done in three years. It actually made more in its second week at the box office than in its first week. And while we don’t know how much it’ll make in its third week just yet, the filmmaker behind it might be making a lot. According to the Hollywood Reporter, an unnamed Hollywood studio has offered Barker $10 million for the rights to his next film, sight unseen. But here’s where things get a little confusing. Barker’s actual next film is called Anything But Ghosts. It’s already been shot, and Focus, which released Obsession, has the rights. A24 has also attached Barker to a new film, either based on or somehow part of the world of the Texas Chain Saw Massacre. This isn’t either of those. This is whatever movie Barker makes next. An original film, like Obsession and Anything But Ghosts. What’s even more interesting about the offer, though, is that it might not be enough. According to the trade, Universal, which owns Focus, has the first rights to whatever Barker makes next, and that could push the offer up considerably. Plus, there might be a third studio interested in bidding, too. All before Barker’s third weekend in release.
Hollywood Really Wants Curry Barker’s Next Film, No Not That One
The 'Obsession' director already completed his next film, but studios are already bidding for what's after that.
