Curry Barker’s debut horror-romance film “Obsession” is set to begin streaming on NBCUniversal’s Peacock on July 17. Multiple outlets report that the release follows the film’s theatrical run, including an announced 63-day window from theaters to streaming. The movie stars Michael Johnston as Bear, a man described as a hopeless romantic who is afraid to confess his feelings to a co-worker, Nikki, played by Inde Navarrette. After Bear makes a wish for Nikki’s affection, Nikki’s behavior changes in ways that the plot presents as increasingly dangerous and obsessive. Deadline also reports that Focus Features acquired North American and certain foreign rights following its appearance at TIFF Midnight, with the acquisition price reported as more than $15 million. CNET similarly frames the update as a streaming release date for the film in July, consistent with Peacock’s schedule. The sources collectively present the Peacock date and summarize the film’s central premise and cast details.
