Box Office Results: The Monkey Is Neon’s 2nd Highest Opening After Longlegs

by

The Monkey has proven to be a huge box office hit for Neon.

Over the weekend, I was thrilled to catch Osgood Perkin’s latest masterpiece, “The Monkey,” in theaters. It raked in an impressive $14.2 million at the box office, positioning itself as Neon’s second-biggest opening after “Longlegs.” Now, if you recall, “Longlegs” was another brilliant production by Perkins that made a staggering $22.4 million during its premiere in July 2024. As a gamer and movie enthusiast, I can’t wait to see where these innovative directors take us next!

1. In its second week, Captain America: Brave New World continued to lead box office earnings with approximately $28.2 million – a 68% decrease from its initial weekend, according to Deadline. Simultaneously, Paddington in Peru garnered third place with $6.5 million, while The Unbreakable Boy, featuring Zachary Levi, struggled and earned just $2.5 million on opening night.
