Horror movies had a robust year in 2024, with six films surpassing $50 million at the domestic box office—a commendable achievement for the genre. Dominating the scene is Nosferatu, a remake directed by Robert Eggers that premiered on Christmas Day. As of now, Nosferatu has grossed over $56 million globally, with additional international releases expected. This film has already outperformed Eggers’ previous work, The Witch, in box office revenue and is on track to eclipse The Northman, potentially marking Eggers’ highest-grossing project to date.
Alongside standalone successes, 2024 also marked significant milestones for horror franchises. Sequels such as Smile 2 and Terrifier 3 made their way into the top 10 horror films at the domestic box office. Alien: Romulus, which unfolds between the classic films Alien and Aliens, emerged as another major player, raking in over $350 million worldwide, largely driven by international box office performance. Furthermore, this installment is poised to kick off 2025 with remarkable streaming success.
