Obsession Officially Gets Its True Box-Office Rival With the Highest-Rated Movie of 2026

Obsession has finally met its match with the highest-rated movie of 2026. More a documentary than a movie, A24’s You Can See Everything is what everyone has been talking about since the documentary was released on October 16. With a box office opening of $5 million (via Box Office Mojo), the documentary went on to earn a total of $15 million during its opening weekend.

In fact, You Can See Everything has already surpassed the 2026 horror masterpiece in terms of ratings, with the documentary sitting at 98% on Rotten Tomatoes (compared to 93% for Obsession).

With the film entering its second weekend, Deadline reports that the film is likely to have the type of second-weekend jumps that people saw with Obsession. A jump of +22% to +28% is expected for the A24 documentary, something that was already observed with Obsession and its box office numbers.

Obsession premiered on May 15 and had a domestic weekend collection of $17 million (opening weekend). The film had a +39% jump during its second weekend, and it jumped from $17M to $54 million in a span of 7 days.

A similar jump is also expected from A24’s You Can See Everything. Similar to Obsession, the documentary also had a domestic opening of $15 million. At the present moment, the documentary is sitting with a total collection of $25 million (in a span of 4 days), and on Friday, it received a massive boost in terms of sales.

Likely, there is a high possibility that, like the Inde Navarrette movie, You Can See Everything might also have a second-weekend jump that has been rarely observed in documentaries before. In fact, the film’s Friday earnings already signalled the start of this trend with a massive +176% boost.

It just seems that the documentary has surpassed Obsession with record-breaking second-week Friday sales. Per Box Office Mojo, You Can See Everything received a +174.6% hike in ticket sales on Friday, which shot the domestic collection of the documentary from $25 million to $31 million in a single day!

This feat wasn’t even reached by Obsession, which only received a jump of +79% on its second-weekend Friday (and got the sales from $30 million to $36 million), as reported by Box Office Mojo.

Though the sales are almost similar, a documentary achieving this level of fame and acclaim is almost unheard of, and You Can See Everything has just redefined what documentaries mean for Hollywood.

Although the theatrical run is pending for You Can See Everything, it will be exciting for audiences to see who can take the crown for 2026.
