Box Office: ‘Longlegs’ Makes $3 Million in Previews, Surpassing ‘Immaculate’ to Set Neon Record


'Longlegs' makes $3 million in previews at the box office, setting a record for Neon.

The film, starring Nicolas Cage as a terrifying serial killer and scream queen Maika Monroe as an FBI agent, made $3 million in Thursday previews at the box office. Variety chief film critic Peter DeBruge wrote in his review,” “Perkins understands that jump scares are but one of the pleasures of a successful horror movie (same goes for shotgun-toting figures creeping just out of focus in the background). “Longlegs” may even beat this weekend’s other new theatrical release, Apple’s “Fly Me to the Moon.” The film, which is being distributed by Sony, stars Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson in rom-com set against the 1960s Space Race.
