Obsession is sparking an important conversation about pay in the film industry, as rumours about Inde Navarrette’s pay go viral.<\/p>\n
Indie horror film Obsession<\/a> was made on a low $750k budget and has made $224 million – 330 times more than it cost. Last week, the art<\/a> director<\/a> of the horror film drew attention to the low salaries, claiming she earned only $6k after taxes for her work on the film.<\/p>\n Several X accounts have circulated claims that the lead actress, Inde Navarrette, made a shocking $20k from the film. These rumours haven’t been confirmed by anyone directly connected to Obsession; however, actress Supriya Ganesh has shed light on this common industry practise. The Pitt actress claimed to have worked on similar contracts, and said most actors experience a loss.<\/p>\n I also feel like people don\u2019t understand the business expenses for this level of success. You pay for PR which is usually 5k a month for three months, each event you go to it costs about 3-5k to pay for HMU and styling. If she\u2019s done 3-5 events that\u2019s already a loss. https:\/\/t.co\/dPR4Ytnnfx<\/a><\/p>\n — Supriya Ganesh (@SupriyaGanesh) June 8, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
