Despicable Me is #1, but Longlegs pulls off an upset.
Despicable Me 4 is still number one at box office and Longlegs is gaining in a stunning opening weekend. Universal's animated franchise is picking up where Inside Out 2 left off. The Minions are poised to rake in another $44 million this weekend domestically. That would push Despicable Me 4 to $210 million on this side of the pond. Impressively, this latest update actually moved the Illumination franchise up past $5 billion worldwide.
Longlegs is the story of the weekend though. Osgood Perkins' little horror movie that could has been the talk of film Twitter for days now. With under $3 million to its budget, Longlegs is poised to bring in as much as $22 million during its opening weekend. Neon and A24 have to be thrilled with this development. $9 million would have been a tremendous start for this film, but to double it up with relatve ease? That's something else entirely.
How Good Is Longlegs?With the Internet rallying around the smaller-budget Horror movie, opinions are starting to circulate all over. ComicBook's Patrick Cavanaugh reviewed Longlegs for the site. In his review, he was very impressed with Osgood Perkins' latest effort. He gave the movie 4 starts out of 5.
"With Longlegs, Perkins continues his trend of delivering entirely singular visions of terror, which started with The Blackcoat's Daughter and continued with I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House and Gretel & Hansel," Cavanaugh argued.
