Neon's highly anticipated horror thriller Longlegs, directed by Osgood Perkins and starring Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage, made a big splash at the box office this weekend, earning $22.6 million domestically. Despite some mixed reviews, the film had the biggest opening for an original horror movie this year and the biggest opening in Neon's seven-year history. The marketing campaign, which focused on creating a sense of mystery and intrigue, helped to attract audiences to the theaters. However, Longlegs did fall behind Despicable Me 4, which continued to dominate the box office with $44.7 million in North America and $88 million overseas. Looking ahead, Twisters and Deadpool & Wolverine are expected to be the next big blockbusters to hit theaters. Overall, the success of Longlegs and other recent releases shows a promising trend for theatrical movies in the coming months.
