Robert Eggers' reimagining of the classic vampire film has exceeded expectations at the box office, becoming one of the highest-grossing horror films of 2024. The film has already passed $50 million domestically and is on track to become Eggers' first release to surpass $100 million domestically.
Director Robert Eggers ’ Nosferatu has emerged as a late surprise for the year 2024. The movie opened in a crowded Christmas frame alongside a host of new titles, and was the clear over-performer. Not only did it register the biggest extended opening in the history of Focus Features, it also became the top-grossing film of Eggers’ career within the first few days of its release.
The film has passed the $50 million mark domestically, which only five horror movies were previously able to in 2024. Today, it’ll overtake Terrifier 3’s $53 million lifetime haul to become one of the top five horror movies of 2024, behind Smile 2 , Longlegs , Alien: Romulus , and A Quiet Place: Day One . As is apparent from this list, the year 2024 wasn’t the best for horror cinema. It’s a genre that has long been seen as lucrative, especially because horror movies don’t tend to cost much.
Nosferatu bucked the trends by earning an excellent $40 million in its extended debut. This is already the biggest haul of Eggers’ acclaimed career, ahead of the $34 million that The Northman concluded its domestic run with. His films have now generated a combined total of over $120 million domestically, and with Nosferatu primed to become his first release to pass the $100 million mark domestically, this figure is likely to increase.
'Nosferatu' Is Projected to Gross Over $100 Million Domestically Close The movie opened to positive reviews, and appears to have settled at a “fresh” 85% approval rating on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. In his review, Collider’s Jeff Ewing described it as “a moody, stunning visual masterpiece,” and declared that “it's the best horror film of the year and easily one of 2024's best overall.
