Will Obsession rank in Google’s Top 5 Most Searched Movies of 2026?
Predicted · Closes
Analysis
The 2025 list (Thunderbolts* and Sinners in top 5 over three $850M+ franchise films) is the single most informative precedent and favors Obsession.
Key Evidence
2025 global Movies top 5 included Thunderbolts* ($382M) and Sinners ($366M) above Lilo & Stitch ($1B) and Jurassic World Rebirth — gross is a weak predictor; Obsession is #2 on FlixPatrol's daily worldwide Google movie chart on Oct 26, 2026 (behind only Spider-Man) five months after release, and Google Frightgeist lists Nikki from Obsession as #3 trending costume; shared-context '<5% base rate for originals' contradicted by Anora (#1, 2025), Saltburn/It Ends With Us (2024), Sinners (2025).
Risks
Resolution day and YES lost: the global list came out as Odyssey, Spider-Man, One Battle After Another (Oscar-driven, Anora-style), Michael, and Toy Story 5/Backrooms, with Obsession at #6-7 because its generic title fragmented queries and its spike was concentrated in the US/UK while Google's global weighting favored films with broader international interest.
