'Nosferatu' Is Set to Creep Past 2024's Breakout Horror Hit at the Domestic Box Office

Next week, Universal will release the first major horror offering of the year, Wolf Man, continuing its partnership with Blumhouse. Major studios had a so-so time last year as far as the horror genre is concerned, with a string of releases, including a couple from Blumhouse, under-performing at the box office. Interestingly, several smaller titles, including a few that were distributed by smaller banners, fared much better commercially. Among the biggest surprises of the year was director Osgood Perkins' Longlegs, which emerged as the top-grossing movie in the history of Neon. And now, several months later, the film is poised to be overtaken by another arthouse title, director Robert Eggers' Nosferatu.
