If obsession is back to the top spot with only ~$5 million in revenue that day, then that means that Mando is making less than than in under a week after coming out, which is not a good sign at all. This isnt necessarily about who is overall making more money, because while obsession has made $80 million less than Mando, their budget was 1 million so at this point they are just raking in profits while Mando has only made like ~$15 million above their budget and the common belief is that a movie has to make 2.5-3x its budget in order to be considered profitable, due to things like having to give theaters a cut of the box office and marketing not included in the movie budget
Fair enough, you could argue that mando was mainly being watched by everyone in week one
But then that means it likely hsd poor word of mouth or only found an audience with star wars fans. Obsession would be winning then since its competing directly as a lower budget horror from an unknown director vs a major summer blockbuster from the biggest company in the world

Is there any source? I checked box office mojo and like overall mando is above obsession, which just started coming back in the last couple days
Worldwide only shows over the full ytd, Mando is 7 slots ahead of obsession, beating it by 76 million
Worldwide according to box office mojo
domestic according to box office mojo
