Break out the birthday cake and unwrap that package that sure looks like it contains an eerily lifelike doll: Longlegs is celebrating a big milestone. Osgood Perkins‘ breakout horror film starring Maika Monroe as an unusually intuitive FBI agent and Nicolas Cage as the nightmarish serial killer she’s chasing is now officially 2024’s highest-grossing independent film.
According to a press release from Neon, the studio behind Longlegs, the film has now crossed the $100 million box-office mark worldwide. Furthermore, “with a current cumulative gross of $72 million in the U.S. and Canada, Longlegs is the highest independent film release of 2024 thus far and the top grossing R-rated horror film of 2024.” That nightmarish marketing campaign really worked!
