Why ‘Obsession’ Actors And Crew Were Allegedly ‘Underpaid,’ Despite Record Success

The art director of Obsession has taken to social media to express that she believes her pay on the hugely successful film was unfair. But is that valid?

  • The art director of 'Obsession' posted on X that her total compensation for the film was $78,000, despite the film grossing $1.2 billion worldwide.
  • 'Obsession' earned a record $420 million in its opening weekend, making it the highest-grossing release of 2026 to date.
  • The film was produced by Starlight Studios with a reported budget of $180 million, of which less than 15% was allocated to below-the-line crew salaries.
