Osgood Perkins’ Longlegs continues to be a massive success story for indie horror, the film scaring up $58.6 million domestically for a current worldwide total of $66.7 million.
Longlegs is now the third highest grossing horror movie of the year at the worldwide box office, behind A Quiet Place: Day One ($253 million) and Exhuma ($97 million), and it’s also hit a huge milestone for indie horror. Deadline reports that NEON’s Longlegs is now officially the highest grossing indie horror movie of the past ten years at the United States box office!
Deadline reports, “Now in week 3, the Osgood Perkins pic is also the top grossing R-rated horror of 2024 and the highest grossing indie horror film of the last ten years, topping A24’s Talk To Me, Insidious Chapter 3 from Universal’s Focus, and A24’s Hereditary.”
The film’s reported production budget was around $10 million, so Longlegs is already turning a huge profit for distributor NEON. Domestically, it’s their highest grossing movie of all time.
