‘Nosferatu’ Passes a Heath Ledger Classic To Become One of Focus Features’ Highest-Grossing Movies Ever

When it was announced that Nosferatu would premiere on the same day as Timothée Chalamet’s A Complete Unknown, it was tough to predict which film was going to have a stronger performance at the box office. Now that both movies have been playing in theaters for three weeks, it’s Robert Eggers’ latest horror project that has blown A Complete Unknown out of the water with hits box office numbers. Approaching its fourth full weekend in theaters, Nosferatu has earned $84 million at the domestic box office and $53 million internationally for a worldwide total of $137 million. This $84 million in the U.S. was enough to push Nosferatu past Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal’s Brokeback Mountain at $83 million to become the third-highest-grossing movie ever for its distributor, Focus Features.
