The Big Picture Continuing the admirably healthy streak that the domestic box office has been in this summer, this weekend saw several movies across genres delivering strong performances. While Despicable Me 4retained its number one position for the second time in a row, Neon delivered its best-ever opening with the buzzy horror film Longlegs.
Longlegs benefited from a solid marketing campaign that created curiosity around the titular character, whose appearance wasn’t revealed in any of the promotional material. It helps that the movie has earned strong reviews, and is sitting at a “fresh” 87% approval rating on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. In his review, Collider’s Ross Bonaime wrote that the movie takes audiences on a “horror journey of pure evil.
The fourth spot was claimed by A Quiet Place: Day One, which recently crossed the $100 million milestone domestically and the $200 million milestone worldwide. Now having entered its third week, the movie grossed around $12 million this weekend, taking its running total to over $115 million. Debuting at number five was Sony’s release of Apple’s Fly Me to the Moon, starring Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson.
