The Nicolas Cage-starring thriller still brought in an impressive $23 million
In the end, the draw of a Nicolas Cage-led indie horror just couldn’t compete with America’s insatiable appetite for those little yellow nuggets. Despite Longlegs pulling off one of the most creative marketing campaigns in recent memory, Despicable Me 4 handily stole the box office this weekend with a massive $45 million haul. That’s just a drop in the bucket for the franchise, however, which is somehow still finding new ways to wrangle humor out of the word “banana.
There’s clearly still some haunting left in the air from The Blair Witch Project’s similarly “out of nowhere” rollout 25 years ago this same weekend. The rest of this weekend’s top 10 is interestingly split right down the horror and family line. Trailing Longlegs is Inside Out 2, now in its fifth weekend and still pulling a $21 million pot.
