Nosferatu Box Office Enters Major All-Time Global Milestone For ...

Nosferatu has achieved a significant all-time global box office milestone. The Robert Eggers-directed horror movie has been generally well-received and has performed well at the box office since its theatrical debut. Nosferatu's star-studded cast features Bill Skarsgård as the terrifying and grotesque vampire Count Orlok in this remake of the horror classic, while Lily-Rose Depp plays Ellen Hutter and Nicholas Hoult plays her husband, Thomas Hutter.

According to The Numbers, Nosferatu is now in Focus Features' top 50 all-time highest-grossing movies at the global box office. It is currently at the 46th spot with a worldwide box office total of $48.3 million. The majority of the movie's earnings have so far come from the domestic box office, where it has made $45.2 million. Nosferatu most recently surpassed Daniel Day-Lewis' 2017 movie Phantom Thread, which stands at $47.5 million on Focus Features' all-time list.

What This Means For Nosferatu

It Is A Box Office Hit

Nosferatu is quickly ascending the box office charts as the movie continues to be positively received. The $48.3 million worldwide box office gross is even more encouraging considering that Nosferatu had a $50 million budget (via Variety). Given Nosferatu's positive reviews and the good word of mouth surrounding it, the global box office numbers will likely continue to soar as the movie continues a successful theatrical run throughout January.

The financial success of Nosferatu is a promising sign for the future of horror movies. Horror movies can be hit-or-miss at the box office, but Nosferatu indicates that a well-made movie in this genre can perform well, especially when it is able to gain a strong foothold in popular culture discourse as the Robert Eggers movie was able to do even before it released. It is also a good sign for Eggers continuing to direct similarly high-quality movies in the future, with studios confident in the returns his movies can yield.

Our Take On Nosferatu's Box Office Success

It Will Soon Pass More Movies From Focus Features

Already joining Focus Features' all-time top 50 worldwide box office is an impressive box office feat for Nosferatu. With the next movie ahead of it, Mary Queen of Scots, only ahead at $48.5 million, it will not be long before Nosferatu is at the 45th spot, and it will continue to move up the list in the coming weeks. London Has Fallen is number one of all time with $195.2 million. It will be intriguing to see how high Nosferatu can climb and how close it may get to London Has Fallen.
