The horror movie “Nosferatu”, directed by Robert Eggers, has reached a significant milestone in terms of global box office numbers. Since its theatrical release, the film has been well-received and has shown strong performance at the box office.
Starring Bill Skarsgård as the terrifying Count Orlok, Lily-Rose Depp as Ellen Hutter, and Nicholas Hoult as Thomas Hutter, this remake of the horror classic has attracted audiences with its star-studded cast.
According to The Numbers, “Nosferatu” has now entered Focus Features’ top 50 all-time highest-grossing movies globally. It currently occupies the 46th spot, with a worldwide box office total of $48.3 million. The majority of its earnings, $45.2 million to be exact, have come from the domestic box office. Recently, it surpassed Daniel Day-Lewis’ 2017 movie “Phantom Thread”, which had a total of $47.5 million on Focus Features’ all-time list.
What this achievement means for “Nosferatu” is that it’s clearly a box office hit. Considering it had a $50 million budget (as reported by Variety), its $48.3 million worldwide gross is quite encouraging. With the positive reviews it’s receiving and the good word-of-mouth, the global box office numbers are likely to keep rising as it continues its successful theatrical run throughout January.
The financial success of “Nosferatu” is also a positive sign for the future of horror movies. While horror films can be unpredictable at the box office, this movie shows that a well-crafted one can do very well, especially when it manages to make a mark in popular culture even before its release. It’s also a good indication for Robert Eggers’ future directorial projects, as studios will have more confidence in the returns his movies can generate.
“Nosferatu’s” box office success set to pass more movies from Focus Features soon. With the movie just behind “Mary Queen of Scots”, which has a total of $48.5 million, it won’t be long before “Nosferatu” reaches the 45th spot and continues to climb up the list in the coming weeks. “London Has Fallen” holds the number one position with $195.2 million, and it’ll be fascinating to see just how high “Nosferatu” can ascend and how close it can get to the top earner.
