Focus Features‘ second highest-grossing movie ever at the domestic box office, Robert Eggers‘ Nosferatu, will finally land on Peacock on February 21.
That’s a 58-day theatrical window to Focus’ sister streamer, one of the longer windows for a 2024 release from the Univeral specialty division. Focus Features titles with the longest theatrical-to-SVOD windows were Drive-Away Dolls (60 days) and Housekeeping for Beginners (63 days).
The period Dracula movie easily became Eggers’ highest-grossing out with $95.4 million stateside and $175.9M global. For Focus, Nosferatu ranks behind 2019’s Downton Abbey ($96.8M) as its second highest-grossing at the domestic B.O. Despite the heat on Nosferatu it will likely remain Focus’ second best, still $1.4M shy of the feature take of the PBS British series. Nosferatu is arguably the highest-grossing major studio release of a Dracula movie stateside since Columbia Pictures’ 1992 Francis Ford Coppola-directed Bram Stoker’s Dracula ($82.5M domestic).
Focus is so excited over Eggers they committed to its third feature with the filmmaker, Werwulf, which is set for a Christmas 2026 theatrical release.
Nosferatu is also nominated for five BAFTA Awards and four Oscar nominations. Academy Award nominations include for Best Cinematography (Jarin Blaschke), Best Costume Design (Linda Muir), Best Makeup and Hairstyling (David White, Traci Loader and Suzanne Stokes-Munton), and Best Production Design (Craig Lathrop; Set Decoration: Beatrice Brentnerová).
In addition to the Eggers movie streaming, Peacock will also stream Nosferatu: An Inside Look which will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film, with insight from the cast and some of the Oscar-nominated creatives.
