2024 Horror Movie Repeats Box Office Success On Streaming By Trending To Start 2025

Horror movies fared decently well in 2024. Six horror films released last year made over $50 million at the domestic box office, which is an impressive feat within the genre. Currently, the horror movie to watch is Nosferatu, the Robert Eggers-directed remake that was released on Christmas Day. At the time of writing, Nosferatu has made over $56 million at the worldwide box office, with more international rollout still to come. It has already beaten out The Witch in box office sales, and will likely beat The Northman to become Eggers’ highest-grossing movie.

Last year was also important for horror franchises. Sequel movies Smile 2 and Terrifier 3 made it into the top 10 for horror at the domestic box office. Another high performer was Alien: Romulus, which was sandwiched between the events of Alien and Aliens. The latest installment grossed over $350 million worldwide, with a good chunk coming from international markets. Now, one of 2024’s best-performing horror films is starting 2025 with streaming success.

Our Take On A Quiet Place: Day One’s Streaming Success

This Is Good For The Quiet Place Franchise

A Quiet Place: Day One is not the best film in the franchise by most accounts, but it is an interesting exploration of the lore behind the main story. The fact that it is succeeding in streaming mirrors its theatrical performance, where it did well at the box office. This is good for the health of the A Quiet Place franchise, which has already begun development on A Quiet Place: Part III.
