Nosferatu Surpasses Smile 2 at U.S. Box Office, Emerging as One of 2024’s Top Horror Films

Nosferatu Achieves Box Office Success

The highly anticipated Nosferatu, directed by Robert Eggers, has made a remarkable impact in the domestic box office landscape. Released on Christmas Day in 2024, this film serves as a modern retelling of F. W. Murnau’s classic silent film from 1922, which itself is an adaptation of Bram Stoker’s renowned novel, Dracula. Notably, this film has emerged as the leading performer among four new releases during its opening weekend, outperforming Timothée Chalamet’s A Complete Unknown, Nicole Kidman’s Babygirl, and the boxing drama The Fire Inside.

Box Office Performance and Financial Highlights

According to Deadline, Nosferatu is poised to conclude its second weekend with a substantial 3-day total of approximately $13.2 million. This achievement will elevate its cumulative domestic earnings to an impressive $69.4 million, exceeding its estimated production budget of $50 million by nearly $20 million. This financial success places Nosferatu ahead of other contemporary horror films such as Terrifier 3, which grossed $53.8 million, and Smile 2, which reached $68.9 million, solidifying its status as one of the standout horror hits of 2024.
