Obsession has passed Ryan Gosling’s Project Hail Mary on Prime Video’s domestic charts after just one day, giving the low-budget horror film a fast and visible win in streaming. The move pushed Obsession into third place behind The Devil Wears Prada 2, while Project Hail Mary stayed ahead on the global charts.
That matters because the two films arrived in very different ways but now share the same streaming shelf. Project Hail Mary, led by Gosling and based on Andy Weir’s 2021 novel, had already been positioned as a major sci-fi release from Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Obsession, by contrast, was written and directed by Curry Barker in his feature debut and made for $750,000 before going on to earn over $370 million worldwide.
Barker’s film is also carrying a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score, which helps explain why it kept rising after its theatrical life and into streaming. The quick jump on Prime Video shows how strongly viewers have responded to a horror title that began as a small first feature and ended up competing with a much bigger studio-backed release. For readers tracking Gosling’s run, the film list also includes Ryan Gosling Movies: 7 funniest roles, from The Big Short to The Fall Guy.
The split between the domestic and global rankings leaves the sharper question hanging inside the numbers: how Prime Video defines those charts, and what weight it gives to local viewing versus worldwide demand. For now, the answer is simple enough. Obsession is the title that took the domestic crown for the day, but Project Hail Mary is still the one holding the wider global lead.
