TL;DR

"Longlegs," an occult horror mystery starring Nicolas Cage, opened to $22.6 million, surpassing the $10 million debut of the high-budget rom-com "Fly Me to the Moon." Despite its success, "Longlegs" couldn't dethrone "Despicable Me 4," which led the box office with $44.6 million. Produced and marketed on a modest budget, "Longlegs" benefited from strong reviews and a viral marketing campaign. Meanwhile, "Fly Me to the Moon," financed by Apple Original Films, aims to gain traction on Apple TV+ despite its underwhelming theatrical performance.
