Lily‑Rose Depp’s $181.9M ‘Nosferatu’ Horror Remake Set for Peacock Debut
The 2024 horror remake ‘Nosferatu’, starring Lily‑Rose Depp and directed by Robert Eggers, will launch on Peacock on April 21, 2026. The film has already earned roughly $181.9M worldwide and holds an 8‑point rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller have directed five feature films, ranging from the animated family comedy *Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs* (2009) to the genre‑bending sci‑fi drama *Project Hail Mary* (2026). Their body of work is ranked from 5 to 1, with *The Lego Movie* (2014) taking the top spot for its inventive blend of animation, live‑action, and rapid‑fire humor. The duo’s signature fast‑paced comedy carries through each title, while the newest entry marks a notable shift away from pure comedy. The ranking highlights both their consistency and their willingness to experiment after a 12‑year directing hiatus.
BOX OFFICE: #ProjectHailMary crushes w/ an $80M opening (domestic). That is: - The best ever March opening for a non-franchise movie - 2nd best ever opening for a non-franchise movie (behind OPPENHEIMER) - Best opening ever for Amazon/MGM - Best ever for Lord and...
