2024’s Top Horror Film: ‘Longlegs’ Dominates Box Office
Neon’s Longlegs, written and directed by Oz Perkins, has achieved remarkable success, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated horror film of 2024 so far. Furthermore, this accomplishment highlights the company’s strategic decision to release the movie ahead of the much-anticipated premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine.

Longlegs has steadily climbed the ranks and has taken the throne as Neon’s best-grossing film. Previously, the multi-Oscar-winning Parasite held this title, with an impressive box office total of $53.3 million. Longlegs has since passed the box office revenue with $58.6 million. Moreover, as the horror hit continues to captivate audiences and generate significant revenue, it officially cements its place in Neon’s history.
‘Longlegs’ Cashes In on Fear
In its second week of release, Longlegs became the highest-grossing indie horror film of the past decade, surpassing A24’s Talk to Me, which earned $48 million over 91 days. The film’s success is attributed to an effective marketing campaign, including $10 million worth of teaser clips leading up to the trailer. Additionally, the film features Maika Monroe and Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage, whose involvement was kept secret throughout the campaign. Furthermore, the indie horror grossed $1.3 million on Thursday alone and amassed $18.9 million in its second week, bringing its total earnings to $51.8 million. Longlegs will be remembered as one of the best summer box office films of 2024, despite the marketplace suffering from a lack of new releases during the strikes.
