Even though it didn't win the day, Nosferatu still managed to suck a decent amount of cash from its audience's pockets. The Robert Eggers opus opened yesterday with $11.6 million, which THR projects into a five-day total of up to $40 million by Sunday. That's well ahead of expectations, which the trade reports were closer to $20 million. It seems like obscuring the details of Bill Skarsgård's vampiric visage from the promo really did work.

The other two films in the trio (A Complete Babyratu? A Nosfergirl Unknown? Maybe that one has run its course) also did well against their projections. A Complete Unknown, the Timothée Chalamet-led Bob Dylan biopic, brought in $7.2 million for a projected five-day total of $22 million, while the Nicole Kidman BDSM thriller, Babygirl, brought in $1.7 million for a projected total of around $7 million. These are only projections, of course, and these numbers could change drastically over the course of the weekend. Still, it was clearly a holly jolly day at the movies.
