Curry Barker's next movie gets a release date

The movie’s release date is similar to Obsession‘s, so Focus may be hoping to strike gold again next May. Obsession grossed $519 million worldwide and became Focus Features’ highest-grossing film ever, an impressive feat for a movie with a reported budget of less than $1 million. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published in June, Barker described Anything But Ghosts as a “buddy comedy,” but promised that it’s “still going to be scary and messed up.” And while Barker’s recent Obsession success has influenced some elements of the production, don’t expect it to recycle the same ideas. “Thank God I have people around me to ground me and tell me that Anything But Ghosts is good and different, and that’s OK,” he said. “Nobody wants the same movie twice. So people can expect it to be very different than Obsession, but my voice will still be very strong in it.”
