We're Talking About Deadpool And Wolverine A Lot, But Longlegs Is Having A Sneaky Good Box Office Run

As a movie enthusiast who has been following the cinematic landscape for over three decades, I must say that the current box office trends are nothing short of exhilarating! The long-awaited team-up of Deadpool and Wolverine in their own movie was a spectacle to behold, breaking records with its staggering $211.4 million U.S. opening weekend. It’s like watching the Avengers all over again, but with a more adult twist!

In the past year, Marvel Studios has faced some setbacks with films like Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels not performing exceptionally well at the box office. However, the highly anticipated collaboration between Deadpool and Wolverine in their own film was expected to reestablish Marvel’s dominance at the box office, earning a whopping $824.1 million globally. Interestingly, Deadpool & Wolverine isn’t the only movie thriving, as the horror film Longlegs is also enjoying its own success.

There’s been a great deal of excitement surrounding the box office success of Deadpool and Wolverine. What makes this even more enticing is that it brings together the long-desired comic book duo of two legendary superheroes. Plus, there are numerous unexpected guest appearances to look forward to!

Initially, it was anticipated that the collaboration between Deadpool and Wolverine would have a strong box office debut, but nobody could predict just how impressive it would be. As per Deadline’s reports, forecasting services predicted three weeks ahead that this new Marvel production would open to around $160-$165 million in the U.S. However, it surpassed expectations significantly by raking in a whopping $211.4 million during its opening weekend, setting records for R-rated film debuts and becoming one of Marvel’s highest-grossing openings to date. The movie starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman went on to enjoy another successful weekend with an additional $97 million, pushing the third Deadpool film over the $800 million mark in total earnings.

Despite frequently discussing films like Deadpool and Wolverine, it’s high time we shift our focus to another unexpected blockbuster hit: Longlegs. According to Box Office Mojo, this Neon horror film raked in an impressive $22.6 million during its premiere weekend. This indie distributor’s triumph is evident as, in its third week, Longlegs surpassed the studio’s previous record set by 2019’s Parasite.

While $22.6 million might appear small next to a Marvel movie’s opening of $211.4 million, the film Longlegs, nonetheless, managed to cover its costs at the box office. This is notable given that Collider reported its budget was under $10 million. Consequently, the chilling Nicolas Cage production earned more than double the investment Neon put into it.

In its second weekend, the horror-thriller Longlegs was screened in an additional 350 movie theaters, ensuring that more people could understand why it made a deep impression on critics. The film’s marketing approach was brilliantly crafted by keeping Cage’s serial killer character’s appearance under wraps, sparking growing intrigue among viewers. I’m eager to discover what secrets lie hidden beneath the mysterious persona of this twisted character.

Despite all the buzz surrounding the blockbuster earnings of Deadpool & Wolverine, it’s Longlegs that’s quietly climbing its way towards an impressive box office haul of more than $22 million. Both movies have garnered critical acclaim and boast stellar casts, leading audiences to believe they’re putting their money into timeless films they won’t forget even after summer ends. Help boost the box office performance of these two exciting films currently playing in cinemas!
