Longlegs has been a breakout success at the box office. The film opened with a domestic box office record of $22.4 million (per Box Office Mojo), the highest-grossing debut ever for its distributor, NEON.

The film has now earned over $25 million domestically and $30 million worldwide. This makes it one of the lowest-budget films to hit these milestones in 2024, a year with big hits like Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and Dune: Part Two. With a production budget of under $10 million, Longlegs has made a profit for NEON.

This shows that Longlegs has connected with audiences more strongly than other horror films. The film has also received high praise from critics. It currently holds an impressive 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
