Yes, it’s another weekend of animation domination of the summer box office, with a mediocre “Despicable Me” sequel — “Despicable Me 4” — clearing another $44 6 million, according to Deadline.com.

But the year-long absent horror film audience is the story of the weekend, delivering another hit to workaholic Nicolas Cage’s long resume and giving tony distributor Neon (the poor man’s A24) its biggest opening weekend ever.

“Longlegs” opened at $22.4 million. That’s good enough to come in second place,  with “Inside Out 2” third,  clearing $20 million itself.

“A Quiet Place 3,” aka “A Quiet Place: Day One,” is still bringing home the bacon, pulling in another $11 million as it marches beyond the $100 million domestic take mark ($200 million worldwide).

Apple/Sony’s ill-considered “Fly Me to the Moon” wasn’t the best reviewed new release of the weekend, but that isn’t keeping it from making a not-quite-respectable $10 million or so and a top five finish. Apple spent $100 million on it, filming some sequences at Kennedy Space Center. So…it’ll be streaming soon enough.

“Bad Boys: Ride or Die” ($4+) plunging “MaXXXine,”($2.9) “Horizon” and “The Story of Possum Trot” and other hangers-on will finish the week in the bottom half of the top ten, if in it at all. “The Bikeriders,” “Kinds of Kindness” and “The Fall Guy” are the likely candidates for tumbling out of contention, with older releases losing screens and “Kinds of Kindness” never quite catching on.
