In May 2026, 26-year-old YouTuber, Curry Barker, released Obsession; a horror film made on a budget of just USD$750,000. By August, just over three months later, it had grossed over $500 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film ever produced for less than $1 million. The film also defied the typical trend for horror movies, with weekly box-office earnings increasing for three consecutive weeks, something no film had achieved outside of the holiday season since E.T. in 1982.

Four months after the conference concluded, on 24 October 1945, the United Nations officially began. Tomorrow will mark 81 years since its inception.
