‘Obsession’ EP Sues Over Allegedly Being Scammed Out Of Promised Profits From High-Grossing Horror Hit

Industry observers feel a jolt as the producer of the horror hit “Obsession” declares she has been denied her share of the film’s earnings. The surprise comes from a project that topped box‑office charts, yet its creator says she was shut out of the profits she helped generate. The dispute threatens to reshape expectations around profit‑sharing on successful franchises.

The Hollywood Reporter notes the plaintiff claims the defendants promised a percentage of revenue after she ‘rescued’ the film from early setbacks. Deadline adds that the breach‑of‑contract claim seeks damages for the alleged scam and for being excluded from the high‑grossing revenue stream. IMDb and TheWrap echo the core allegation that the producer was deliberately cut out of the profit pool despite her contractual role.

The filings cite specific breach clauses but stop short of detailing the exact figures involved. As the case proceeds, industry watchers will be looking for the court’s interpretation of profit‑share language and whether the alleged deception will set a precedent for future horror‑genre collaborations.
