The Big Picture Horror movies are having a long-overdue comeback after a lackluster 2024. In the wake of Paramount’s A Quiet Place: Day One debuting with a franchise-best domestic box office haul recently, Longlegsis delivering the biggest opening in indie outfit Neon’s history this weekend. Directed by Oz Perkins and starring scream queen Maika Monroe alongside Nicolas Cage, Longlegsgrossed $10 million on its first day of release, which includes the $3 million that it made in Thursday previews.
The film took the number two spot, trailing reigning champion Despicable Me 4. After a solid $122 million over its extended five-day debut last week, the animated film grossed around nearly $14 million on its second Friday, and is eyeing over $40 million this weekend. By Sunday, Despicable Me 4will have passed the massive $200 million milestone domestically, despite having debuted in the wake of Inside Out 2.
The fourth spot went to Apple’s Fly Me to the Moon, which is receiving a theatrical release via Sony. Starring Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson, the period drama had a soft $4.5 million opening day, and is looking at $10 million across the weekend, although this number is likely to increase with positive word-of-mouth fueled by an A- CinemaScore.
