What Nosferatu's Box Office Milestone Means For Robert Eggers

It's Poised To Become His Highest-Grossing Film Worldwide

Robert Eggers started his career by directing the folk horror film, The Witch, for the indie studio A24, which was a big box-office success that grossed $40 million worldwide against a small $4 budget and is regarded by many as one of the best horror films of the 2010s. From there, Eggers reunited with A24 for The Lighthouse, which grossed over $18 million against its $11 million budget and helped bring Eggers into the mainstream, receiving an Academy Award nomination for Best Cinematography.

After making his first two films for A24, Eggers graduated on to the higher-profile Focus Features, a division of Universal, for his third movie, the historical action epic The Northman, made on a bigger $70–90 million budget. Though The Northman still stands as Eggers' highest-grossing movie worldwide at $69 million, it underperformed at the box office considering its big budget. Nosferatu, made on a smaller $50 million budget for Focus Features, is now poised to become Eggers' highest-grossing film worldwide.

Our Take On Nosferatu's Box Office Milestone

Robert Eggers Belongs In The Box Office Big Leagues

After making his first two films for A24, Robert Eggers' first film for Focus Features, The Northman, underperformed at the box office partially because it was released during the post-pandemic recovery. Now, with Nosferatu suring $50 million domestically, Eggers has rebounded spectacularly, the milestone cementing him as a filmmaker capable of blending artistic vision with commercial appeal. Nosferatu's success proves that Eggers is not just an auteur, but a force in the box-office big leagues.
