‘Nosferatu’ Sets a $40 Million Christmas Weekend Debut – Record Debut for Robert Eggers
Robert Eggers’ version of the classic horror film, “Nosferatu,” has made a significant impact on the holiday box office this year, achieving great success despite being an unusual choice for a Christmas Day release. This modern take on the 1922 silent movie generated an impressive $40 million in its first five days, with $21 million coming from the traditional three-day weekend alone. With this launch, “Nosferatu” has set a new record for the biggest Christmas debut ever for a genre film, outperforming the previous record held by “The Faculty” since 1998.
