Despite premiering on the same day asA Complete Unknown, theBob Dylanbiopic starringTimothée Chalamet,Nosferatuhas outpaced its biggest competitor on its way to becoming one of the biggest movies of 2024 – and one of the most successful horror movies of all time. At the time of writing,Nosferatuhas grossed $94 million at the domestic box office and $77 million internationally for a worldwide cumulative haul of $172 million. This $94 million total in the U.S. is enough to makeNosferatuone of the top 25 highest-grossing movies of 2024, pushing it pastThe Fall Guy(Ryan Gosling), which finished its theatrical run at $92 million.Nosferatuwould need another $2 million to passBob Marley: One Love, another musical biopic starringKinglsey Ben-Adirand detailing the life of the lateBob Marley.
It was tough to predict whetherA Complete UnknownorNosferatuwas going to come out on top at the box office, especially after both of Timothée Chalamet’s last two movies (WonkaandDune: Part Two) grossed over $600 million at the worldwide box office.A Complete Unknownwon’t even come close to reaching the same heights as other Chalamet flicks,however, as the film currently sits at a $66 million domestic total to pair with a $20 million international gross, leaving it short of even $90 million at the worldwide box office. WhileNosferatuhasn’t had as much success asMufasa: The Lion King, partially because the 2024 horror flick was added to digital platforms earlier than expected, it has still earned well over 3x its reported budget of $50 million.
