Steven Spielberg, the legendary director in Hollywood, shared his words of appreciation for ‘Obsessed’ and ‘Backrooms’ for achieving millions of dollars despite their low budget. The 79-year-old loved the film and applauded them for their amazing box office collection.


Here’s a closer look at Steven Spielberg giving his green light for the two films with the highest earnings.


During the recent screening of ‘Disclosure Day,’ Spielberg walked the red carpet for the film, which will be released on June 12, 2026. “I’m so happy for them. I think it’s so fantastic,” he said about 'Obsession' and 'Backrooms,' during an interview with Pop Drop.
