Actor Michael Johnston discussed the possibility of a sequel to the horror film "Obsession" during a recent appearance on Access Daily.

The film's commercial success has made a follow-up a primary point of interest for both the cast and the studio. High box office returns often trigger franchise expansions in the horror genre, where sequels can capitalize on established audiences.

Johnston appeared on the program with hosts Kit Hoover and guest co-host Jessica Radloff to reflect on his breakthrough role in the production. He spoke about the experience of filming and praised his co-star, Inde Nav, for their work together on the project.

During the interview, Johnston highlighted the financial performance of the movie. The film has achieved a global box-office gross of more than $300 million [1]. This level of earnings provides significant leverage for the creative team to pursue further installments.

Director Curry Barker has also been mentioned in discussions regarding the potential for a sequel. While a formal production schedule has not been announced, the conversation centers on how to expand the story while maintaining the tension of the original.

In addition to discussing the film, Johnston showcased the One Wish Willow device. He used the segment to reflect on the trajectory of his career following the movie's success and the impact of the role on his professional visibility.

Johnston said the project served as a breakthrough for him. He credited the collaboration with the production team, and the reception from audiences, as key drivers for the film's reach.

“The film has achieved a global box-office gross of more than $300 million.”

The financial success of 'Obsession' places it in a tier of horror films that are highly likely to be franchised. With a $300 million global haul, the studio has a proven market, making a sequel a low-risk, high-reward venture. The public discussion by the lead actor and director suggests that the groundwork for a second film is already being laid, even if a formal greenlight is pending.
