How ‘Nosferatu’ Became Focus Features’ Second Highest-Grossing Movie Ever At The Domestic Box Office, Besting ‘Brokeback Mountain’
Robert Eggers' 'Nosferatu' has become Focus Features second highest grossing movie at the domestic box office with $84.4M, passing 'Brokeback Mountain'
His previous movie at Focus, the New Regency co-financed, Viking gritty epic, The Northman found a huge audience on PVOD and in downstreams, making it a profitable title on Universal’s side of the ledger for the $70M production (before P&A). The Peter Kujawski-led Focus Features noticed great intrigue brewing for the Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Bill Skarsgard and Aaron Taylor-Johnson movie after dropping the first trailer six months ago which clicked 65M views, the most ever for the Uni label and higher than The Northman and Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City. Among this year’s potential needle-moving titles for Focus Features are the Steven Soderbergh directed, David Koepp scripted Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett spy movie Black Bag(March 14), Downton Abbey 3 on Sept. 12, and the reteam of Yorgos Lanthimos, Emma Stone and Jesse Plemmons in Bugonia(Nov. 7).
