Where it turns up
Friday, July 12, 2024 Second weekend of July 2024
On the chart Longlegs (opening): $22.4M
Expected 'I don't see a path where it's less than $20 million and could easily get to the mid 20's' Actual: $22.4M
In the note
Right now it looks down 45% or so for a weekend in the low 40’s. Longlegs - Outlier Alert! Looks like Neon is going to join the ‘lightening in a bottle club’ and they are going to have a weekend that everyone there will remember for a long long time.
Friday, July 19, 2024 Third weekend of July 2024
On the chart Longlegs (wk 2): $12.0M, -47%
Expected 'A pretty standard (for Horror) down 55% and a weekend of about 10' Actual: $12.0M, -47%

It’s a Cat 5 hit. Despicable Me 4 - Still really good, down a standard 50% for a weekend in the low 20’s Inside Out 2 - Down another 40% for a weekend in the low teens. Longlegs - The exits were so iffy last week, I expected this to be down more today.
Friday, November 1, 2024 First weekend of November 2024

When I was talking about Longlegs a couple of months ago the ‘oh, it’s Neon’ response would come up, same with films like Iron Claw and A24.
