Obsession comes to streaming after box office success

• Curry Barker’s Obsession arrives at Peacock on July 17
• The horror film was a monumental success at the box office, grossing $407 million on a budget of $750,000.
• Obsession is also available for rental or purchase on digital platforms

Just days after reporting this Obsession was available to rent or purchase at home, we got our wish for a streaming release date. Luckily, you won’t need to break any One Wish Willows to review Obsessionas it will debut streaming on Peacock on July 17.

If you haven’t seen Obsession However, it follows Bear (Michael Johnson) who has a crush on his colleague and friend Nikki (Inde Navarrette). He doesn’t have the courage to ask her out, so he buys a fancy wish-granting toy and ends up asking her to “love him more than anything in the world.” Immediate red flag, right?

I’m so excited for Obsession to join the best horror movies streaming this July, and this addition means horror fans are definitely eating well this month.

Obsession is the most successful horror film of 2026 so far, beating out huge titles such as Behind the scenes And Send help at the box office. It also eliminated competition from more traditional genres, beating out titles like The Mandalorian and Grogu. Now, after its $407 million box office success, it will slowly leave theaters and come to streaming.

Peacock Benefits

Peacock may not be as big as some of the other best streaming services, but it has a few gems worth checking out. Horror fans should definitely watch Hysteria!, a series starring Bruce Campbell set at the height of the Satanic Panic. Elsewhere, The office derivative series The paper is a comedy series worth watching.

But honestly, it’s worth trying Peacock just to be able to watch Obsession. In my glowing 5-star review of the horror film, I called it “thoroughly entertaining and grabs you by the throat, refusing to let go.”

So there we have it, Obsession is coming July 17th and I’m sure many horror fans will be flocking to watch it all again.
