The serial killer chiller has become the highest grossing film for Tom Quinn’s Oscar-winning specialty production and distribution outfit, home of Parasite , for 2024. Longlegs, which has to date earned a North American gross of $72 million, was financed and produced by C2’s Dave Caplan alongside Cage, Dan Kagan, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, and Chris Ferguson.

Black Bear represented the international rights to the horror pic, which accounts for $31 million of the worldwide gross. Longlegs was distributed directly in the U.K. and Ireland, which is the top grossing international territory for the film, currently with $10 million in ticket receipts.

After Neon promoted Perkins’ fourth feature as a buzzy event film, Longlegs has yet to open in a number of major territories, including Latin America and Italy. Black Bear’s sister company, Elevation Pictures, has earned so far over $7 million of the North American gross with the release in Canada.
