Box Office: ‘Longlegs’ Still on Track to Set Neon Opening Record; ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ Drifts to $4.4 Million Opening Day as ‘Despicable Me 4’ Retains Lead
'Longlegs' is still on track to Neon's best opening weekend ever, while 'Fly Me to the Moon' earned $4.4 million on its opening day.
The indie scarer, starring Nicolas Cage as a terrifying serial killer and scream queen Maika Monroe as an FBI agent, is looking at a $20 to $23 million opening weekend.

Destabilizing audience expectations and relieving tension with unforeseen bursts of absurdity are every bit as important — both tactics he employs with expert precision.”
