But now, the audiences have spoken as well.
DirectorRobert EggersNosferatuis expected to generate $25 million over the extended weekend, despite the lackluster B- CinemaScore.
While this is par for the course for horror titles, it isnt exactly encouraging, especially for Eggers.
In Nosferatu, a reclusive vampire’s presence disrupts a small European village, drawing an unsuspecting young couple into a battle against an ancient evil. As fear spreads, the villagers must confront the terrifying legend and their own beliefs, leading to suspenseful confrontations and chilling revelations.
