Nosferatu Becomes First Robert Eggers Film to Reach Major Box Office Milestone
Robert Eggers, known for his work on The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman, has achieved a major box office milestone with his latest film, Nosferatu. According to Deadline, the film has grossed over $50 million domestically, making it the first Robert Eggers film to reach this milestone.
Nosferatu, a remake of the 1922 silent film of the same name, tells the story of a young woman who falls victim to a vampire infatuated with her. The film features an all-star cast, including Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, and Willem Dafoe.
This achievement is significant for Eggers, as it demonstrates his ability to blend artistic vision with commercial appeal. After making a splash with his indie film The Witch, which grossed $40 million worldwide against a small budget, Eggers graduated to working with major studios, including Focus Features, for his next projects. His historical action epic, The Northman, unfortunately underperformed at the box office, but Nosferatu has since rebounded spectacularly, making it his highest-grossing film worldwide.
The success of Nosferatu cements Eggers’ place in the box office big leagues, making him a filmmaker capable of achieving both artistic and commercial success. With his unique storytelling and vision, Eggers has proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with in the film industry.
