[EFM ’12] UK Rights Go ‘Airborne’
Chelsea Films, a division of Curzon Artificial Eye, scored UK rights to Dominic Burns’ indie thriller Airborne, which stars Star Wars” Mark Hamill, Julian Glover (Quatermass, Empire Strikes Back), Sebastian Street, Gemma Atkinson (Hollyoaks, 13 Hrs), and Alan Ford (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch).
Taking terror to new heights, “As a snow storm closes in, one final plane takes off. The plane reports to the ground that both pilots are dead, while the slowly dwindling number of passengers on the plane wish that they’d never left the ground.”
Black and Blue Films’ Jonathan Sothcott said last year: “I was attracted by the idea of making what is basically a feature length version of the “Terror At 20,00 Feet” segment of ‘Twilight Zone The Movie.’” ![]()

‘Obsession’ Makes Streaming Debut on Peacock in One Week
Curry Barker’s Obsession is still playing in theaters and it’s now available on Digital at home, with the physical release set for next week. Also next week? The film’s streaming debut!
Peacock has made the surprising announcement that box office sensation Obsession will already be available for streaming on Peacock beginning next Friday, July 17, 2026.
Obsession was released into theaters just about two months ago and the film has scared up an incredible $406.8 million at the worldwide box office. It’s the highest grossing horror movie of the year so far, and it’s still raking in millions with each passing week.
The production budget for the independently-made Obsession was a reported $750,000, with distributor Focus Features later acquiring the film for a reported $15 million. Needless to say, the film has proven to be massively profitable for Focus, who will no doubt be hungry to turn the horror hit into a horror franchise. Curry Barker has some thoughts on that, however.
Curry Barker is incredibly busy in the wake of Obsession‘s box office success, with his horror-comedy Anything But Ghosts coming soon. He’s also attached to direct the next Texas Chainsaw Massacre, as well as another original horror movie for Universal & Blumhouse.
Stream Obsession on Peacock at home beginning July 17!
In Curry Barker’s theatrical debut Obsession, after breaking the mysterious One Wish Willow to win his crush’s heart, a hopeless romantic finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price.
Inde Navarrette (“Superman & Lois”) and Michael Johnston (“Teen Wolf”) star.
