  Nosferatu had its world premiere in Berlin on December 2, 2024, and was theatrically released in the United States by Focus Features and internationally by Universal Pictures on December 25. The film received positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success, grossing $181.3 million worldwide on a $50 million budget, becoming Eggers' highest-grossing film.
