Directed by Osgood Perkins, NEON’s horror hit Longlegs has proven to have long legs at the box office these last several weeks, and the film just hit another massive milestone.
First reported by Variety today, Longlegs just passed $100 million at the worldwide box office, making it the highest grossing indie movie – horror or otherwise – of 2024 so far!
Variety notes, “With a gross of $72 million in the U.S. and Canada and a total $100 million at the global box office, it’s also the top-grossing R-rated horror film of 2024.”
The only other horror movie to pass $100 million at the worldwide box office this year is A Quiet Place: Day One, which is currently sitting at a whopping $260 million worldwide.
Perkins’ Longlegs is also officially the highest grossing indie horror movie of the past ten years at the United States box office, a milestone it actually hit a few weeks back.
The film’s reported production budget was around $10 million, so Longlegs is turning a huge profit for distributor NEON. Domestically, it’s their highest grossing movie of all time.
No word yet on an at-home release for Longlegs. Stay tuned.

What’s next from Osgood Perkins? He’s actually got two new horror movies on the way, including Stephen King adaptation The Monkey and NEON’s Keeper starring Tatiana Maslany.
